Quote:If you consider your art journey as a plane or maybe rocket flight, I've always considered talent as determing the "ceiling" (highest possible altitude) of one's flight potential as well as determining the power of your engine.I see it the same way. And as for the ceiling, I really think that if the most talented person ever ever ever uses "significant amount of time and resources" (whatever that means), that person would fly to, say, 30 000 m. And if the most utterly talentless person ever ever ever does exactly the same, that person would fly to like 28 000 m. Of course, the engine would make the talented guy go to 5000 m pretty fast, with the talentless guy struggling at 250 m, but that's it, the more they work, the more close they get.
