You create a world away from home and make new rooms for yourself. But when you arrive back home in your old rooms, the world you've made for yourself ceases to be real. Everything seems to crumble. Anyone who's been sent away to boarding school can understand that.

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.

The only place I considered home was the boarding school in Yorkshire my parents sent me to. It's easier, isn't it? I mean, it gets kids out the way, doesn't it?

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.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

I spent a lot of time in boarding school. This is something I will never do to my kids. I think if you're having kids, then you have to take care of them; otherwise, what's the point? There are many things that parents say are good for the kids, but the truth is they say that because it is good for the parents.

I have an addictive personality. Boarding school merely sent me more quickly on the downward spiral that dominated my childhood.

I loved my boarding school, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I didn't have a career.

High school is very intense for everyone. But at a boarding school, because you're there 24 hours a day, everything gets magnified.
