I cannot say that I was a particularly diligent student, especially during the lower grades.

I think I'm pretty smart. I think I'm pretty clever. But there's a lot that you hone in on when you finish your education.

I wasn't the best student. I wasn't stupid, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

Just because I don't have a college degree doesn't mean I am not smart!

I'd like to say I was smart enough to finish six grades in five years, but I think perhaps the teacher was just glad to get rid of me.

I found that, academically, it really didn't matter whether I had received a certain grade in a class; it didn't matter too much what schools I wanted to attend... What matters is one's drive, one's intelligence.

I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I'm not.

I never cared what kind of grade I got.
