Alan Wilder Quotes
I mostly stayed in the background. I was doing quite good, but I wasn't interested in most of the subject-matter. I only found music and languages to be absorbing. I simply hadn't the desire of listening to the teachers. Maybe because it wasn't interesting enough what they had to tell. I couldn't take schooling seriously although I'd love to go back and really learn now - it wasn't what I needed at the time. My mind would wander.
