I'm quite dyslexic in school.

I wasn't tempted to go into academia for a second.

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I - if I'm not interested in something, I don't grasp it.

I was dyslexic, so I was put in the silly class at school.

I don't want anyone to feel they can't achieve their ambitions if they are dyslexic.

I was a dyslexic kid.

I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'

Too many years away from academia renders you pretty incompetent at research and teaching. So I had to go back.

I think my dyslexia was a vital part of my development because my inability to read and write meant that I had to find knowledge elsewhere so I looked to the cinema.
