I do regret that when I went to college, I didn't have a liberal arts education. I got a BFA in musical theater, so it was a very directed toward what I was doing. I wish that I had expanded my horizons a little bit.

My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education.

I went to NYU to study liberal arts.

I wish I'd gone to a small liberal-arts college where I'd have read the great books instead of a large university where I majored in early-childhood education.

I wasn't tempted to go into academia for a second.

I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.

College had little effect on me. I'd have been the same writer if I'd gone to MIT, except I'd have flunked out sooner.
