I wish we could have acted quicker on Detroit or other failing schools.
I went to school for creative writing in college, and I wound up about six hours short of my degree.
I went to Catholic school in and out. I'm what you call a recovering Catholic. I have many major issues with the church.
I do not subscribe to the advocacy journalism school. It's not who I am and not who CNN wants me to be.
In many of the high schools in the South Bronx, more children will end up in prison than will go to college.
At Murry Bergtraum High I wanted to be as different from my father as possible. So I acted out in school, I was very anti-authority.
Swedish taxes are high, and we don't get as much as we used to for them. And our schools aren't so good.
Alex Steiner: Rudy! What are you doing? Rudy Steiner: Nothing papa! Alex Steiner: Then get to school!
[last lines] Christian: Can't wait until you back at school. Elias: Me too.
School was a waste of time for me. I was bored and left at 16. I started taking correspondence courses at college instead. I did incredibly well. I won an award for my grades.
I was a library rat and a bookworm. I read all the time. I walked to school reading books. I read under my desk.
Many schools include a service project as part of their curriculum, and many corporations have in-house projects for their employees or give them time off to do volunteer work.
I wake up at about 9 a.m., and have a few hours of school or time to relax. Then, I have practice at 2:30 p.m. with my team.
I'd always loved strings. When I was in high school and saw strings playing on stage, an orchestra or a symphony, all those bows moving at the same time... wow.
Journalists like to say I started off sweeping the pottery floors. But it was just a short-lived part time job doing that after I left school.
I was a pretty disruptive student in class in school. I had a hard time paying attention. I had what they call A.D.D. now, back then I was just a hyper kid.
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.
I first decided that I wanted to act when I was 9. And I was at a very bizarre prep school at the time; to say 'high Anglo-Catholic' would be a real English understatement.
When I was in high school, The Dave Matthews Band was a local band, and that was the first time I was starting to connect with a live band that was something that wasn't on the radio or TV.
I was big time into Barbie. I also had Wonder Woman Underoos that I really liked. I actually wore them as an outfit to school. As I said, I was a strange child.
I play basketball all the time. Me and my band play every week on the road. That's something that I've never really given up since high school.
