Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.

It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?

I wasn't into anything at school. I used to get really embarrassed. I used to get asked to do performing things, and I'd go to all the rehearsals, and then I'd pretend to be ill on the day I had to actually perform. I was very unhappy at school.

I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.

I don't know whether schooling would have helped me get farther along in music at this time. I doubt it would have.

When I started performing, I decided that if in five years I couldn't earn as much money acting as I could as a teacher, it would be unrealistic for me to continue on the stage.

I was never interested in singing in the church choir or in school. I was more interested in becoming a musician.

If I weren't a performer, I would be still be writing and songwriting. Plus, I also really want to get into producing.

I was under the false impression that I could sing in high school, so I did a lot of musical stuff. I can't sing or dance, so that was entertaining for everyone.

When I finished school, I didn't continue to go to university, because I decided I wanted to do music.
