You mustn't forget the circumstances I have been brought up in, the little education I have had.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can't separate me from my upbringing as a child overcoming learning disabilities and having to make my way through that.
In this bright future you can't forget your past.
I had a very difficult upbringing.
For 13 years, I struggled with education and have only just realised that I was actually struggling to protect myself from it. I was trying to protect my soul.
The more I learn about things, I realise how wrong I was before.
My education was very tough.
It's only in hindsight that you realize what indeed your childhood was really like.
A lot of things come down to your roots and how you're brought up.
Well, in order to become a grown man, in order to become significant in my family and significant in my children's life, I had to learn my lessons.
I was accorded the opportunity to learn by failing - albeit at the cost of a few honourable teachers' sanity - and now I realise what a rare and incredible luxury that is.
