My entire tenth grade year, my dad was in a coma. That changes a person. It changes a kid. It makes you ridiculously independent.

My family - my mother and father had gone through such a hard time that by the time I graduated from sixth grade, they were separated.

I didn't go to high school, and I didn't go to grade school either. Education, I think, is for refinement and is probably a liability.

To be truthful, when I'd be on the bus when I was a little kid, like fourth, fifth grade, we'd always be free-styling and playing around.

I was the weirdest kid: I wanted to see the police file - in grade school! I was convinced I could crack the case if I just had that file.

Matt Bonner. That's the legend right there. I was in fifth grade and watched him play at our local high school. Sold out. It was incredible.
