Talent doesn't always equal success.

The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.

To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.

Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is.

Real talent shines through regardless of how many others there are around you.

I never thought I was particularly talented, and to be honest with you, I still don't.

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

I've known lots of people that are talented and nothing happens. It's not about talent, it's relentless drive.

There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
