When the time came for me to go to college, there was only one scholarship that my high school offered at the time and I didn't win that one, but that didn't stop me. I went on to college anyway. I worked my way through it and paid my student loans for 11 years.

My parents did not pay a cent for my education; they didn't give me a car or furniture - I did that 100% on my own. I had to pay back a lot.

When I was a sophomore in college, my father called me at the fraternity. He told me he no longer had the funds to pay for college. If I wanted to continue, I would have to do it on my own.

I wouldn't have gone to a Division I school if I didn't have scholarship help. We couldn't afford it.

I literally paid my way through the University of Texas with my umpiring.

I told my mom I would graduate. I owe that much to her and myself.

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

If you borrowed money and went to a college where the education didn't create any value, that is potentially a really big mistake.

I had been accepted to film school, but my parents couldn't afford it, and yet they made too much money for me to get a scholarship.
