Learning happens in the minds and souls, not in the databases of multiple-choice tests.

I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.

When I was in first grade, some psychologist told my mom if I didn't go to graduate school, she basically failed as a parent, because I had the aptitude to do it. Which is so dumb. Huge pressure!

You have to be taught to be second class; you're not born that way.

I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.

All that schooling never prepares you for the reality of life.

Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.

I kept on telling my parents school wasn't for me. And they were like, 'No you need to go university.'

I think that school just isn't for everyone. A lot of people don't learn well when they're - have to sit in a place for eight hours. A lot of people learn best lying in their own bed, teaching themselves from books. And I was a bad student. I was a brat. If I was a teacher, I would not have liked myself.
