I taught workshops at universities. I wrote for magazines. This took time and insane amounts of juggling, but it's how I earned a living.

There are some subjects in school that I love, but it can still feel like a chore. Acting never feels like a chore.

The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.

I went to school to study literature and writing, even though I didn't end up really doing that in the end.

My family put a lot of emphasis on homework, so there weren't too many comic books or video games for me, when I was growing up.

Like most kids growing up, I had a very wide interest. I was interested in everything. I tried to take advantage of everything, from the sciences to music to writing to literature.

I don't know whether I much enjoyed education. I was not academically gifted.

I remember that already as a child I was often intensely interested in things, obsessed by ideas and projects in many areas, and in these topics I learned much on my own, reading books.

I didn't have a regular school experience and wanted a more abstract way of learning. I started exploring in lots of different creative ways. It gave me the opportunity to travel and play music, so it was good for me.
