I loved every minute of my three years majoring in classics at Berkeley.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I loved the college experience of studying.
Math and science were my favorite subjects besides theater.
It took me a couple of years after I got out of Berkeley before I dared to start writing. That academic mind-set - which was kind of shallow in my case anyway - had begun to fade.
My favorite subject was either English or History. I had a really awesome high school education.
My favorite subject in high school was English. I love reading and writing, and I felt really supported in this subject, and my least favorite was math, since I felt completely lost.
I really enjoyed Princeton as a graduate student.
Sometimes I can think of nothing more blissful than going to Berkeley and reading Byron for three years.
I did go to UCLA for art, but the other option was going to Sarah Lawrence and doing creative writing all the way. So that is part of the reason I love to read so much.
When I originally entered UCLA, I had planned to go for a film major, but I kept finding myself taking math classes for fun, 'cause I missed them from high school!
I went to UC Berkeley. I graduated in 1976, immediately moved to L.A. with a degree in English - which did no more for you then than it does for you now - then sold real estate and did theater for nine years.
