I was a hyper kid in school and the teacher suggested to my mom she needed to do something with me.

I was a pretty disruptive student in class in school. I had a hard time paying attention. I had what they call A.D.D. now, back then I was just a hyper kid.

I was really hyperactive as a kid and no one knew how or where I got all this energy.

My teachers probably tried to get me interested in other things at school, but I was very young when I decided that I wanted to act. By the time I was 12, I was hell-bent on it.

I remember teachers who really singled me out for their discouragement.

Teachers didn't like me very much. They thought I was just this punk kid and they always wanted to kick me out.

I remember, in my senior year, one of my teachers taking me aside and saying: 'You look really tired.' This was when I was being a bad kid and she knew that something was wrong.

Kids nowadays, I remember when I was in school, they were just rude, even to the teachers and stuff.

I was very disruptive. I was horrible. I didn't learn like all the other kids. I had to sometimes take my tests out in the hallways because I couldn't focus. But, my teachers would come see me in the plays and were like 'I don't understand how you can focus and be in the moment in a play and you go into math class and you can't focus.'

I was a disruptive child.
