I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

I was a really good student. I was nerdy and ambitious. I was involved with every large theater production at my school.

Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.

My education was an education by movies.

By the time I entered high school, I had forsaken academics altogether in favor of my burgeoning acting career.

I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.

I was a good student - a geek, really - editor of the school paper, thought I was going to go to university.

I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.
