It was during my time at secondary school that I abandoned religion.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

I loved my boarding school, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I didn't have a career.

I went to a Catholic school but did not really fit in.

You create a world away from home and make new rooms for yourself. But when you arrive back home in your old rooms, the world you've made for yourself ceases to be real. Everything seems to crumble. Anyone who's been sent away to boarding school can understand that.

I mean, I went to a Catholic boys' school for a year, but that was to play hockey. Religion class was quite contentious for me.

I have an addictive personality. Boarding school merely sent me more quickly on the downward spiral that dominated my childhood.

I think boarding school does give you an independence.

I have a theory that if you've got the kind of parents who want to send you to boarding school, you're probably better off at boarding school.

I was taken out of school by my dad when I was 11 and lived in Mexico City, then later in Paris. I went with him to excavate in Bolivia and Peru. I never finished high school. I was a straight F student anyway. My father admitted to me later that he'd thought I would come to no good.
