Nobody told me I was a child prodigy.

I was actually not some sort of a child prodigy by any stretch.

I have never considered myself a prodigy. Others have used that term, but I never bought in to it.

There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are.

I don't know if I'd call myself a prodigy, but I was a big forensics competitor in high school, and then during college I spent some time working at speech and debate camps as a coach.

There are lots of different interpretations of the word 'prodigy.' My own is of someone who is talented and tries to help other children. So in that respect I could be called one, although I don't think I'll go off the rails.

Child prodigy is a curse because you've got all those terrible possibilities.

I never thought of myself as special or particularly good at anything. But once I started ballet, suddenly I had a new identity: prodigy.

I was the kind of kid that had some talents or ability, but it never came out in school.

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