I wasn't a smart kid and I still don't think I'm too smart when it comes to book smart, but I was very good with what I knew and with my craft and I think that was my calling in life. But even today I never went to college.

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.

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.

You know, I'm fairly intelligent, but I don't think my grades reflected that.

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.

I am not sure that I am that smart. I think we work harder. When I was at university, there were a lot of smarter people than me, and they seem not to have done quite so well.

My fellow students there were very smart, but the really novel thing was that they actually seemed to put a lot of effort into their school work. By the end of my first semester there, I began to get into that habit as well.

I was ridiculed in public school for being smart. A teacher's pet.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!
