There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there's lots of talent in search of meaningful work.

There is so much talent out there and not quite as much opportunity.

Those who are blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel.

It takes a different mindset to be successful in anything; that's why there's not a lot of super duper successful people, because it's guys I know who may be ten times more talented than me, but they don't work as hard.

There is no substitute for talent. Industry and all its virtues are of no avail.

I think there are a lot of other actors that are just talented, it's just about this opportunity - it's just about when are we going to be put in those positions where we can shine.

Talent is talent, and everybody knows somebody who has talent or ability, but they never really converted it into a productive performance for whatever reasons.

Talent! There's no such thing as talent. What they call talent is nothing but the capacity for doing continuous hard work in the right way.

I think that everybody's worked on shows where you feel like maybe a divide has happened between the talent and the crew. Those are the hardest jobs to do your best in, because as you're performing, you're aware that the people around you, because they haven't been afforded the respect that they deserve, they're not as invested.

By and large, talent is in such short supply that mediocrity can be taken for brilliance rather more than genius can go undiscovered.
