People think I must have been so talented at an early age, but I don't know - was it talent or hard work? Who knows?

I was not considered a kid that would be successful in my career.

I was never really good in school.

I have been aware, from the age of 6, that I had talent.

I was never really good at anything except for the ability to learn.

I was not naturally talented. I didn't sing, dance or act, though working around that minor detail made me inventive.

I was definitely a thespian of sorts in elementary school. I went to a real small private school, and every year, I participated in the talent shows and the school plays - all of 'em.

I was a pretty normal high school kid. I just loved to play sports and had opportunities, and the Lord blessed me with talent, and I just tried to take advantage of it.

I was a sickly child, not very strong physically. I wasn't really the greatest in school. I didn't really excel in anything particularly. But I was happy with who I was.
