Pauley Perrette: I was a criminal science fanatic and went to study it in college as well and I think that helped me on NCIS because I was comfortable with the language, I had studied criminal science in school for years.
I ended up in college by accident. Everything in my life, I ended up in by accident. I was down south in this high school doing whatever. It could just not contain me. I quit school and took off and traveled around. Nobody knew where I was I just couldn't handle it anymore. It was a big scandal, I was gone. I left.
I went to college in Ohio, at Ohio University, and I graduated two years ago.
I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, I wanted to have that experience.
College had little effect on me. I'd have been the same writer if I'd gone to MIT, except I'd have flunked out sooner.
I went to college at the University of Kansas, where I got a degree in political science.
I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let not me act until I graduated from college.
This year, we must address the Colorado Paradox. We have more college degrees per capita than any state. Yet we lag the nation in the percentage of students who go on to higher education.
Seriousness is stupidity sent to college.
Earnestness is stupidity sent to college.
My parents put everything in a trust fund for me. I won't get it until I'm 18, so I'll use it for college.
We never had it as rough as the kids have it today. Look at the price of a gallon of gas or a piece of real estate or a college education.
We kinda look at this as the second or third chapter of our lives. After college, most people figure out what they want to do with their lives. But we already know what we want to do in the future and that is to continue to further our business goals.
In college, you learn how to learn. Four years is not too much time to spend at that.
Everyone tries to talk you out of going to college. The consensus being that people are just gonna forget about you, you know, and that's the way the business works.
