I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.
People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.
I don't consider myself to be the best... and I don't like compliments... they distract me.
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
Talent is a factor. But training and focus are what truly define someone's success.

Hidden talent counts for nothing.
In the long run, there is not much discrimination against superior talent.
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.
God gives us a gift, but then that gift has to be worked.
Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are your ready?'
Effort without talent is a depressing situation... but talent without effort is a tragedy.
Obviously talent gets you to a certain point, but it's what you do with it, how you handle.
I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.
No matter how talented you are or naturally gifted you are, there's no substitute to hard work if you got to maintain standards.
I believe in doing what I am best at.
We are all born naked into this world, but each of us is fully clothed in potential.
There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.
When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.
Talent without working hard is nothing.
Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.
