I didn't have that many friends my first few years of high school. It was very cliquey and I'm super shy, so it was hard to make friends.
Directing is something I always wanted to do. I started when I was 13 directing scenes in high school and then plays in college with my theatre company.
After high school, I had $2,000 saved, and I packed everything I could into my '95 Nissan Sentra with no air-conditioning, and I drove out to L.A.
My father was a professor of civil engineering at MIT, and my mother taught high school English.
I was a wild kid in high school. I liked to get crazy and be rebellious and go to parties and do all that kind of stuff.
I'm still a tomboy at heart. In high school, I was the girl in the baggy jeans and Timberlands, but I was also at the hairdresser's every week.
I didn't figure out the makeup or cute hair or clothes until oh, maybe my junior year of high school.
I think that there were only two people in my high school that were comfortable there, and I think they are both pumping gas now.

The fact is, when I was 15 and a sophomore at high school, I played on the varsity baseball team for the college.
I couldn't wait to grow a mustache. I stopped shaving my upper lip the day I graduated from high school.
In high school, I was sort of friends with the geeks and friends with the socials and everything else and not solidly in one camp. I've always lived on the borders.
The only thing that everyone needs to look out for is keeping the students reading through high school and thereafter.
I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do.
It's a staggering transition for high school students that found they could study five hours a week and make As and Bs.
Teens are always shown as one dimensional. They're stereotyped. When I was in high school, I cared about more than getting a date or making the team.
I had done plays in high school. It was something I always wanted to do since I was little. I was a drama major at UC-Irvine.
I was a professional baseball player from the time I was drafted out of high school in 1981 until the time I retired in 2003.
When I was in high school, we used to do 15-20 hours of dance per week, and then when you graduate, you don't have that much time on your hands anymore.
My parents have always been incredibly supportive. Even when I dropped out of high school, they said, 'We trust you, we believe in you.'
If I had my choice, every high school would be teaching financial literacy along with math and science.
