I loved my boarding school, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I didn't have a career.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It was tough going to boarding school. It was very hard work.
I deliberately went to boarding school. It was my choice. My mum was abroad and I wanted to wean myself off being dependent. It was a very important time for me to be able to create my own individual, independent life; just as a way of growing up.
I have an addictive personality. Boarding school merely sent me more quickly on the downward spiral that dominated my childhood.
I have a theory that if you've got the kind of parents who want to send you to boarding school, you're probably better off at boarding school.
At boarding school there wasn't much time for much of anything except education.
My dream, I remember, when I went to boarding school, was to have a study all my own, a little nook someplace where nobody could get at me - nobody, like the football coach.
The huge advantage of boarding school is that it throws you into the social fire. Every social interaction I've had since then has been a million times easier. Literally, ever since then, it's all been child's play.
I was a boarding school product from the age of eight, and I hated it. Though I do have a theory that boarding school is good training for writers because it's so desperately lacking in privacy: you make space for yourself by having an interior life.
I ran away from three different boarding schools before joining a circus school, and eventually I became an actor. The only thing I learned at boarding school was never to send my child to one.
Boarding school is a wicked thing.
