There’s nothing you’ve ever been successful at that you didn’t work on every day.

You've got to run your career. What happens is a lot of times artists have this talent and they're just looking for somebody to take it and do something with it. And you have to be the creative force.

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