I've never studied anything formally. I was excluded from school at the age of 17, so I am an autodidact, which is a word that I have taught myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I study myself more than any other subject; it is my metaphysic, and my physic.
I haven't had any formal education. Through the grace of god, I am gifted in mathematics and the English language.
I'm not a trained actor. I'm someone who is autodidactic and learned on my own.
I've never professed to be anything but an average student.
The habits of study in which I have been brought up have done much to support me. I never allow myself to be one moment unoccupied.
In actual fact, I've never been one, even from childhood, to kind of analyze myself very much.
I've never been a big believer in formal education.
My parents are wonderful, practical, sensible people, and the expectation was that I would study something academic.
When I can't do something, this always impels me to study it.
When I enrolled in college at age 19, I had a total of eight years of formal classroom education. As a result, I was not comfortable with formal lectures and receiving regular homework assignments.
