Due to financial reasons, I dropped out of school after eight years of formal schooling.

I was always taken in and out of school.

I dropped out of high school four times between the ages of 12 to 17.

I dropped out of high school three days into my senior year because I hated it because New York City public school is a mess. I certainly wasn't one for sitting in a classroom. Then I went off to college to North Carolina School of the Arts, then quit that after two years.

I didn't mind being in school. But I was usually uninspired and always late. I did what I had to, but not more.

I dropped out of school when I was 15 years old. I dropped out because I guess I wasn't getting anything out of my investment in the school.

I was in school, but I wasn't into school. I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing in school, which was film studies. That was what I intended on doing, but I didn't go away to a university because I wanted to stay in L.A. and audition while I took classes, so I elected to go to a community college and just take G.E. courses. It was terrible.

I went to quite an academic school, and all my friends were going to university, but even before my acting jobs, I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to spend another three years being institutionalised, and I feel that getting out of that system benefited me in quite a few ways.

In high school, I worked eight hours a day just so I could get into the college of my dreams and say that I got in - and I never went.
