I hate a sleepy, nonresponsive, and silent audience because it fails to excite me as a performer.
In secondary school I was floating - I wasn't passionate about anything. I did a little sport, but it was pretty joyless because the competitiveness was too much to bear.
I dropped out of school when I was 15 years old. I dropped out because I guess I wasn't getting anything out of my investment in the school.
School didn't work for me. I hated it.
I'm pretty drifty.
Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.
I really hated school. I had the feeling I was losing a lot of time.
I found school very boring and frustrating.
As my mom says, I was a little bit of a slacker in high school. I really was just kind of unmotivated, a little bit lazy, so my grades weren't that good.
I was never really a big presence in the home.
I didn't act like I was there. I just got into the story.
A person standing in front of an audience without enthusiasm for his subject and his actions is disconnected from his spirit.
The biggest advantage I have in this job is that I don't really want it.
I prefer to stay out of politics, really.
Sometimes I'm kind of spacey. I'm like Ferdinand the bull, sniffing the daisy, not aware of time, of what's going on in the real world.
I'd be smiling and chatting away, and my mind would be floating around somewhere else, like a balloon with a broken string.
There's a big difference between "not caring" or being "nihilistic" about a topic and simply not being enrolled by the drama presented by other people. Just because my characters choose not to react in standard, socially-appropriate ways - that does not mean they don't care. They just reject ordinary dramas.
In school, I was an underachiever.
Because I tend to kind of hide under the sheets when it comes to reality television. I've seen probably one episode of maybe five different shows, and that's about it.
I didn't really enjoy school. I wouldn't say they were my golden years.
I never thrived in high school.
In high school, I was a poor student.
Acting has never excited me.
The guy who sits in front of the television is unengaged. That man is a bad man.
Everyone knows people like that: You're looking at their milky, glazed-over eyes, and you know they're not listening.
