When I went to art school, I was just having fun. I realised that was the last chance I had, and then I would have to get a job.

I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

I liked English and art and did a lot of painting. And for some reason I was good at math, but I wasn't an A student. I really had to work hard to get good grades.

I have an architecture degree; that's what my college degree is in. And that sucked. I started doing Web and CD-ROM development really early on, and then that grew into being an art director and doing advertising work.

But I didn't really enjoy my secondary education that much, probably because I am a very physical person and don't enjoy sitting at a desk all day. I just dragged myself through GCSE and A Levels, so it suited me very much to go on to drama school, which was very active.

You can finish school as soon as you finish the GCSE's.

The only thing that I was equipped for with my very mediocre college Arts degree was to get a job in teaching.

I always wanted to be a painter. I loved painting. I went on three different art courses but had no talent whatsoever.

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.

I kind of just lucked into and fell into the other profession. It was really just an outgrowth of the fact that when I was in art school, I had no money whatsoever.
