I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent.

I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent. And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic.

I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

I never thought of myself as a really particularly great singer.

I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I'm not your average bear. I - what's the word? I'm not - normal.

Talent is nothing more than a pursued interest.
