In my last year of school, I was voted Class Optimist and Class Pessimist. Looking back, I realize I was only half right.
Nor, in our own country, must we fail to take notice of the establishment of School Boards.
As a chef and as a father, I am very upset by what's on the menu at most schools: chicken nuggets and tater tots and ketchup and pizza.
When I was doing 'Neighbours,' I was aiming to go to university, then go to med school, but I realised I could make a better living from acting.
You go to school everyday. Folks who think they've learned everything they need to know are usually dumber than chickens.
When I was 17, I worked at a bagel shop - I ate so many! I was also in all the school musicals, which we rehearsed for during the afternoons.
I've always been really artistic. I went to an all-girls private Catholic school, and one of their biggest things was musical theater.
If there was a distraction I'd get up and jump out the window. I was quite out of hand. In schools like that I don't think they expect that girls are going to behave in such an outrageous fashion.
I think I was about 18 before I decided I wanted to pursue acting. I went to drama school in Western Australia when I was 19.
My parents worked their tails off, but we weren't the poorest people in town. Some people I went to school with, you could tell they were dirt poor.
I speak for a lot of church groups, youth groups, schools, colleges and do personal appearances. I've done conventions and trade shows. A lot of different little hats.
I had never done any theater in high school, which actually worked to my benefit. I didn't develop any bad habits.
I always think instinct is more interesting than anything you can think up. I mistrust and am rather bored with actors who are of the Stanislavski school who think about detail.
I know what it's like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet.
I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.
We must make sure that there is recess and P.E. class in every school, getting kids outside for 60 minutes, every day.
Because of my schooling, my fate would always be a little different from my friends.
High school golf, college golf and the decade that followed all come back to me now as one big raucous, goofy gangsome.
I wanted to be a hockey player. Where I grew up, the basketball courts were rarely used. I was terrible in school and actually said, 'I'm going to be a hockey player.'
Well, I didn't really admit that I anywhere until my daughter started school and I knew I couldn't pull up and leave when I felt like it.
With families, your priorities shift. You're not going to be like, 'Let's go out on tour year-round.' I have kids in school. You have to lay things out.
