How does it feel to be a high school dropout who's done well?
Isn't that something? Well i can only say it worked for me. It's not for everybody. I wouldn't recomend it to most kids, but the situation i was in, it was inevitable. I had to leave. School is a wierd thing. I'm not sure it works. It's debatable, but i think the way school is now, I'm not sure teachers--certainly there're some who are very, very good, but there's a lot of teachers who i don't think care about teaching. Therefore, it's not inspirational for the kids to learn when they've got a teacher who basically is just taking a paycheck. And there's also you've got to deal with some kind of cop syndrome and the abuse of authority and all that stuff. I just couldn't take it anymore.

What's the greatest piece of advice you've ever received?
Don't ever take any shit off anybody. I think that's probably the best advice i've ever gotten.

Who told you that?
My mom.
