So what it boils down to, in my humble opinion, is that we need to support the arts in schools, and at every other level in the education of children.
Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.
Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.
My concern for education in New Mexico has always been there. I'm one of those kids that struggled through school, and I feel like I fell through the cracks.
Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men.
When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.
I'd love to do more theatre and acting. I attended a performing arts high school in London, and it would be great to be able to put all of that training to use again.
Measures of self-government and a school council, especially for such young children, were a great innovation.
I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.
I always did TV commercials and made great money to put myself through school. That became guest starring roles on TV shows.
My advice has always been to study the craft of acting if you want to be an actor. There are many great schools that teach acting. NYU being one of them.
Sport is and should remain a great school of life that supports young people in their personal development. It teaches respect for others and also for oneself.
It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.
Old-school hip hop, i.e., whatever was popular when you were nineteen, is great. Everything since then is intolerable.
If the women of the United States, with their free schools and all their enlarged liberties, are not superior to women brought up under monarchical forms of government, then there is no good in liberty.
When I finished school, everyone wanted to go to a good university and become a lawyer or a doctor. My A-levels were sort of chosen for me.
I thought I would, you know, go to college, get to law school, finish, and then get a job and work as a lawyer, but that proved to be not a good fit for me.
I went to public school for like, one day. I don't get it. Everybody tries to be exactly the same. I think being an outsider is a good thing.
I was 16 and did a play at school. I was a rather good student... And then I did a play when I was 16 and completely lost all my concentration for academics.
I was a very repressed young person. I wasn't good at school. I didn't fit in.
One of my school friends' parents owned a minigolf course, and a bunch of us kids would play there all day in the summer. Two-under deuces was a good score.
