I just hate sitting and writing - I had to do that in school. Plus, I have terrible handwriting.
I was very bad at mathematics in school, and I always had the feeling as a kid that when I worked on problems, that I would be wrong.
If I could go back to my first year of acting school, I'd probably say: 'Relax. Stop taking yourself so seriously.'
I was one of the only ones there interested in acting. You find when you're doing school plays that a lot of people there were on punishment, or something.
I've always been comfortable with people who run things, whether it was the principal of my high school or the president of the university.
I rolled myself up into a tight ball of resistance and it was thus that I went through my school years.
I went to an all-girls' school with 43 people in my class, so dances were small. I always went with girlfriends or a blind date.
When I was younger, acting, singing and dancing was what it was all about. That's really what kept me in school because I was really naughty otherwise.
All children are much more intelligent than they are told they are or the school thinks they are; they just have different intelligences.
No parent or coach can be true to any child and say he's ready for the N.F.L. out of high school.
I went to a school in N.Y. that is conceptual and interdisciplinary and modeled after Cal Arts. It is not just painting or sculpture; it was everything mixed together.
I was born and raised in Nigeria. We lived in England when I was 3 and 4, and I would go to summer school every year in Switzerland.
Well, I went to school with Jan and Dean, Ryan O'Neal, some of the Beach Boys we all use to party together.
I'm sure that being an applicant from the American School in Vienna helped get me into all seven colleges I applied to.
I was taught in school that I have to look out for number one. That was against everything that I intuitively felt.
I loved being on stage. I was in elementary school when I started, so I couldn't say that it was about the building of characters.
I did play two years of high school football and was very short and uncoordinated but the second year I was very tall and skinny and very uncoordinated.
Schools used to fund-raise for luxuries, like a trip to the water slides. Now, we fund-raise for things we have to have.
I was quite creative at school, and was also interested in fashion , but I was shy - I'm still not the loudest of people, believe it or not.
I thought it was such a unique concept to play parents who happen to be super heroes and have a son who is going through puberty and starting high school.
All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.
