My parents always made education and school the number one priority. They believed that an education is the best gift you can give to your child.
The chief reason for going to school is to get the impression fixed for life that there is a book side for everything.
My mother always told me that came first. I started modeling in 11th grade and it was something that I did after school and on the weekends. School is so important and modeling should be treated as an extracurricular activity as opposed to a career until you graduate high school.
I think, from every actor I've ever spoken to, they say the biggest thing they regret from life is not finishing school.
I never bunked school. School was always the most special place for me.
Music education was always big for me. Ever since I was a young kid, I always said it was the reason I went to school sometimes and knowing if I didn't do well in class that my mom wasn't gonna let me sing in school or sing at that concert.
Schools are really, really important. It gives you access to every kid in the country. It gives you a massive pool of people to see who might be talented at different sports. It allows kids to try sports. Kids can be inspired all they want, but if they can't go out and try a sport, then it's no good.
I had this health teacher who kept me after class one time, saying, ‘You’re missing a lot of class.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, but I’m doing this play.’ He said, ‘Community theatre is not going to take you anywhere. Maybe you should stay in school’
I try to keep it positive and play it cool, shoot up the playground and tell the kids to stay in school.
It's hard to say 'No' and develop your moral fiber. That's why your school is so important.
School was very important. But I needed to watch basketball.
School is very important to my family.
Once someone gave me a picture and I wrote 'Do good in school.' I looked up and the guy was 78 years old
My parents tried to convince me that school won't always be there, but auditions will. I said, 'Really? Are they tearing down NYU?'
Now in a lot of rural towns in Kentucky, the school system is the heartbeat of the community, not to mention one of the major employers.
We need better neighbors, neighbors that care about the schools in their neighborhood whether they have kids in them or not, because they know that the health and vitality of that neighborhood depends on it.
I was lucky enough to attend schools where they were understanding about when I needed to go abroad to play chess. Of course, socially it is important to go to school and interact with people your own age.
Unlike any other time in our history, we have to know that staying in school and getting an education is the most important thing you can do.
Everyone has those times when you feel like you don't fit in. Everyone struggles to a certain extent with being cool and popular, but I never really let it affect me. I played sports and did theater, and school was really important to me. I had fun in high school.
Today I discovered two kinds of people who go to high school: those who wear new clothes to show off on the first day, and those who wear their oldest clothes to show they think school is unimportant.
My dad was fine about me doing modelling at 16 because I always said school was important to me. I always chose my jobs carefully so I wouldn't have to take too much time off.

A Good School deserves to be call'd, the very Salt of the Town, that hath it.
Mum and Dad used to always follow me and support me, taking me to Newcastle on a Sunday morning after getting up at 7 A.M. They have always supported my football but always told me how important school was.
