I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path.

If I had let myself off the hook in college, I could have enjoyed myself a lot more. Knowing that I can't have those years back, I have learned to get the most out of living in the now.

I didn't go to college, I went straight from high school to working on I'll Fly Away, I was very, very lucky.

Like anyone who goes to college, you're leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything, and you're starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.

I'm a risk-taker. Most of my career has not been a joyful experience, but it has been challenging. I like the dangers.

I had, before I went to college, I had taken a few years off after high school and really had, I guess in those days, I had no intentions of going to college.

For whatever reason, college was just not a huge focus for me. I wasn't planning ahead. I just didn't think about it too much.
