I loved reading and writing, and teaching was the most exalted profession I could imagine.

I could have probably been just as successful by not going to college, but it was the most intellectually stimulating environment that I was ever in.

I was at a pretty rough school, and the only thing I was good at was art.

I wouldn't be where I am today without the amazing public arts education that I had.

I taught workshops at universities. I wrote for magazines. This took time and insane amounts of juggling, but it's how I earned a living.

I simply loved education. I mean, I always loved acting as well. It really was a major passion for me, but one I felt I could only fully explore once I'd completed my degree.

If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher.

I didn't get a Bachelor's degree - I got a Bachelor's of Fine Arts, which means I didn't have to take humanities, math, and stuff like that. I think I had to take Art History, which I failed a few times.
