My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

My chops are still up, even though I'm not still in high school.

My daddy died when I was two years old. My mother raised my two older brothers and me. And we couldn't have had a better situation. I mean, she was the - ran the concession stand at the Little League, and she was the first woman president of The Touchdown Club, the booster club for the high school football team. And so, I had a wonderful childhood.

I was playing rugby and the other games English school children do, and there was an event in which races were run, and I won these by a considerable margin.

I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.

My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work.

My athleticism was really the core to social acceptance, because in those days the overwhelming number of students came from more of a public school background than I did.

That difficult start drove me on to inspire children and let them know that it is never to late to repair a bad experience at school, and once you get your head down and start to read books, you can really achieve.

My dad was the baby. When he was born they were already successful. They sent him to business school - he probably would have loved to have been a poet or a writer or something, and he was very creative.

Poetry is so vital to us until school spoils it.

I've been in show business for 50, no, 60 years. I was approached in school to join a variety act.

Life is a school of probability.

I'm not satisfied with the explanations I get from tv or from school.

So I went to English school, secondary English school, so forget going to Mecca for my religious education.

They don't like thinking in medical school. They memorize - that's all they want you to do. You must not think.
