I wanted to be an actor from a young age, but actually becoming one and seen the ugly side of the world does feel different and sometimes unwelcome. There are shallow, vapid, untalented people zombieing the streets of Hollywood, adding decadence and immorality to an already extravagant business.

American Actor

Robert Gottlieb

One of the eternal mysteries of ballet is how untalented choreographers find backers for their work, and then find good dancers to perform in it. Is it irresistible charm? Chutzpah? Pure determination? Blackmail? Or are so many supposedly knowledgeable people just plain blind?

American Writer

Tommy Lee Jones

I've worked with some very good directors and some very bad ones. I learned a great deal from both. From the bad, untalented people, you learn what not to do. And when you work with very highly talented people, you want to emulate them.

Paul Engle

When I took over the Writers' Workshop, it was one little class and there were eight students. All of them, brilliantly untalented... I had an absolute vision after the first workshop meeting.

American Poet

Isabelle Huppert

I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything.

French Actress

Roger Taylor

I know that drummers tend to be the butt of a thousand jokes, usually from the uninformed and untalented, but I always felt I had an important role.

American Musician

Tony Wilson

Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does.

British Journalist

Lisa Hanawalt

I'm a bad artist. I'm lazy and untalented and bad.

American Artist

Using 'untalented' can sound harsh or critical. Use it carefully to express lack of skill without offending.

Negative Connotation

'Untalented' should be used in contexts where skill levels are being assessed or discussed.

Context Matters

Remember that 'untalented' can be subjective. One person's opinion might differ from another's.
