That's why I ended up leaving school - because it required so much time, and it was such an excellent idea. I figured I would regret not going full force with this idea. It seemed we could make something of it.
In high school, I had a really difficult time just loving myself. It's weird; I feel like in the world we live in today, you're not supposed to be like, 'I'm beautiful,' like that's a conceited thing to say.
When I was a freshman, I didn't have that much time for extra-curriculars, so I didn't do any theater stuff. Actually, I didn't do it with my school. I did theater with this thing called Teen Source.
I'm from the 'less is more' school. I had to be in the 'more is more' zone with 'Dallas Buyers Club', so I was out of my comfort zone, but I had to trust that.
I think we've all been misled, at moments in our lives, certainly in school situations, and things like that, with getting with the wrong group briefly, or falling in with someone who we learn the truth about and no longer want to really be with.
[overdressed for winter] Randy: I can't put my arms down! Mother: Well... put your arms down when you get to school.
Jessie Stevens: Sorry I ever sent her to finishing school. I think they finished her there.
John Milton: Law is the ultimate backstage pass. There are now more students in law schools than lawyers walking the streets.
Frank Costello: You do well in school? Young Colin: Yeah Frank Costello: Good. So did I. They call that a paradox.
[after vigorous sex with Tyler Durden] Marla Singer: My God. I haven't been fucked like that since grade school.
[last lines] Dorothy Harris: You understand this is the bus to the school, now, don'tcha? Forrest Gump Jr.: Of course; you're Dorothy Harris, and I'm Forrest Gump.
Andrew Largeman: They sent me away to boarding school. Sent me away makes it sound like they sent me to an asylum. There were no straps involved.
[last lines] Michael Berg: I was fifteen. I was coming home from school. I was feeling ill. And a woman helped me.
[last lines] Chihiro's Father: A new home and a new school? It is a bit scary. Chihiro: I think I can handle it.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: [at Charlie's disciplinary hearing] This is such a croc of shit! Mr. Trask: Mr. Slade, you are in the Baird School. Not a barracks.
School Bully: I'll tell you how to get four people into a mini. Two in the back, two in the front and your Dad in the ashtray!
Wolverine: Got any beer? Bobby: This is a school. Wolverine: So that's a "no"? Bobby: Yeah, that's a "no." Wolverine: Got anything other than chocolate milk?
It was 1975. I had spent the year at the Boston Museum School doing some very bizarre performance works. The last one included going to the North Magnetic Pole and spending all of my money.
I make money because I have to pay for everything apart from my school fees. My mother even makes me pay my own telephone bill.
I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.
I almost didn't turn pro at all. I was tempted to be a career amateur. I worked as an investment banker for nine months after I got out of school, and the money was fantastic and promised to get even more lucrative.
