Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.
Sometimes street knowledge can be as important as book knowledge.
I've never been a big believer in formal education.
Never let formal education get in the way of your learning.
I haven't actually studied acting at all.
Basically, my socialization as a child didn't come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online.
Every single thing I learned about marketing and building my business, I learned from my mom, and she had never been in the workforce. She just had great practical sense.
I'm a comedian first. I've learned how to act. I just draw on life experiences and that's how I've learned. I didn't take classes or anything. I don't need no classroom.
I don't learn as well, I think, in like a structured way. I kind of have to be thrown into it.
We must not think of learning as only what happens in schools. It is an extended part of life. The most readily available resource for all of life is our public library system.
I am continually embarrassed by people who point me out as an example of what can be done without training.
The best learning happens in real life with real problems and real people and not in classrooms.
I just went along with political activists and interested in other intellectual interests which I pursued kind of at random. I never had a real college education. I got a degree, but it was just patching together courses here and there.
I only learn from the people I work with.
I take from people all the time. I didn't ever go to acting classes or anything. You can just watch people.
I have been blessed to have had many excellent teachers. The further I get away from school, though, the more I realize that the greatest teachers in my life have come from outside of academia.
I don't read music; I taught myself guitar.
I've never worked with an acting coach, but my parents had acting classes and I grew up around them my whole life just because I didn't have a babysitter.
When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.
Not all knowledge comes from college.
I learned English from watching American movies and American series. And you'd watch the movie the first time and not understand anything. Then you'd watch it again, and you'd start understanding more and more, and that's how I learned English.
The smartest billionaires I know never finished high school. I got my degree and my doctorate on the street and an advanced degree in jail.
I am no police, I don't even have any educational degree, but I have a degree in life management.
There are no training courses to make people bishops. You have to learn on the job.
Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.
