Talent is really important in politics, but experience is also really important.
I was the boy who liked to sing his own songs at talent shows, and I was suddenly officially uncool.
It always amazes me when I see young people with raw talent and passion.
I remember Steven Tyler coming up to me once. He was like, 'Oh my god, you have a God given talent,' and I freaked out. He's so sweet.
There's no such thing as too late. There are different roles for different ages, assuming an actress has something to offer. There aren't many Helen Mirrens and Meryl Steeps, and it takes a lot of talent to get to that level. I hope I have it. That's the model I aspire to if I'm lucky enough. It's all about luck.
A friend of my mother's, Irene Lopez, was a Spanish dancer. She saw me bopping around the room and said to my mother, 'Rosita might have talent. Can I take her to my dance teacher?' There was no thought of a career at that time, but I knew I loved the attention, and that's so much a part of being a performer.
I knew from my television work that I could sit down and put words on paper but didn't know if I had the talent to tell a story in novel form.
If competition for Kaggle's top talent becomes fierce enough among banks, insurance companies, hedge funds - we hope the world's best data scientists will earn more than $50 million per year, just like the world's best hedge fund managers.
I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.
Talent is talent.
I believe things are meant to be. It's the only way I can explain it because I had auditioned before to get on 'The X Factor' and 'Britain's Got Talent,' and I didn't get through - it was literally, 'No!'
Being the director - way fancier than 'just' being the writer. People call you 'talent.'
Talent perceives differences; genius, unity.
It is certain that at certain times talent entirely overcomes thought or poetry.
