In my case, I was born to parents who were very young, and I don't think they were entirely ready to have a child. My dad was going to college and working two or three jobs at the same time, and my mum was working and going to school.

By the time I reached high school my father's grocery store had made our life adequately comfortable and I was able to choose, without any practical encumbrances, the subjects that I wanted to pursue in college.

It's always hard - if you're not the best player on your team, how can you be the best player in college?

I learned law so well, the day I graduated I sued the college, won the case, and got my tuition back.

I even lived on campus to get the college experience. I had five roommates and I still keep in touch with them while I'm on the road.

Before high school ended, I started applying to college. It really wasn't even a choice because of the brainwashing of my parents.

No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.

When I graduated college I needed to make money while I was pursuing acting, so I read screenplays and made a living writing coverage on them for studios.

After I saved some money, I quit work and went to a local college.

I moved to Chicago in 1980 to go to college.

I started out with comedy in college, but had my major in Recreation Administration - which meant I wasn't going to get a real job - so I started doing a little standup.

I started doing stand-up in college.

That's when we was makin this video stuff. They went all over the place makin it. And they was wantin to know, at the college, how I got started playin and how do I do everything - you know, all that.

Michael Jordan and Magic and myself all learned how to play the game in college programs that emphasized the team.
