I dropped out of school in the 11th grade because there was no purpose in it for me. I'm not proud of this, and I'm not trying to promote it.
When I got outta High School I was driving a truck. I was just a poor boy from Memphis, Memphis.
When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.
I was born in Harlem, raised in the South Bronx, went to public school, got out of public college, went into the Army, and then I just stuck with it.
Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
Then I started graduate school at UCLA. I got a part time research assistant job as a programmer on a project involving the use of one computer to measure the performance of another computer.
I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like.
It's always strange being a kid on the set, because you're treated like an equal when you're working. But then when you break, the other actors go back to their trailers to take naps and drink beer, and I have to, like, go do school.
When I was in nursery school, the teachers asked me, y'know, 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like, 'What exactly does your husband do?'
I loved school so much that most of my classmates considered me a dork.
It scares me to think that one day I'm not going to be in school anymore.
I think school is so much harder than real life. People are so much more accepting when they are adults.
By providing our school districts with direct access to criminal information records, we can help ensure timely and complete information on prospective school employees.
I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that.
I've said this before, that, when you're in school and you're the class clown, men are really good at making fun at other people and women are really good at making fun of themselves.
