I don't know any musician who got to the top without hard work. Take whoever you want. They all work bloody hard, harder than you think.

I love what I'm doing most of the time, but it's hard work. People only see your albums in the charts. They see us at award shows and after-show parties. They don't know about your doubts, the hard work that goes in.

I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.

Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional.

One who works for his own profit is likely to work hard. One who works for the use of others, without profit to himself, is likely not to work any harder than he must.

If you want it, and you want to get it, then you've got to work hard for it, like Tupac was working hard for it.
