I was in a show choir. I can't sing or dance to save my life, but I was very passionate. People said my parents paid the choir director to let me in. It was actually the parents who started that one!
'YOU AREN'T TALENTED' - it cuts right to the fear of every artist.
Back home everyone said I didn't have any talent. They might be saying the same thing here but it sounds better in French.
Look, when people came after me for doing 'Indecent Proposal' or 'Disclosure,' I thought, 'Ridiculous.' These people are trying to limit me as an actor. Are they saying I can't play these roles? Well, I've proved I can.
It is often said that in Ireland there is an excess of genius unsustained by talent; but there is talent in the tongues.

Man, it's hell to have a wife who thinks she can sing, and she can't.
I just don't like it when people get credited for their voice work and it's really shitty. It's really thin, there's nothing to it, there's no meat behind it. It's, like, "Oh, it's a celebrity."
My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.
I'm fed up of hearing that Adrian Lewis is so naturally talented blah blah blah. I'd rather hear that I'm winning.
You're always going to have people that are naysayers, that don't believe in your talent, that don't believe that you have any kind of longevity.
If an athlete plays the guitar, they say, 'That's so cool, he can play the guitar.' But if a guy raps, they say, 'Please don't be another rapper,' only because the rappers are so bad. I promise I'm not anything like that.
All disc jockeys are without talent. Noel Edmonds - I can't stand Noel Edmonds.
I heard a lot in school, 'You've got a really great talent, but there's no way you're going to be a dancer with that body.'
