Education Quotes
-
Growing up I did commercials and things like that, but nothing serious. As I got older, my family is really hardcore into academics.

I went into the Army, and one day, in the middle of a bull session, somebody called me an atheist. Believe it or not, it was the first time I'd ever heard the word. It goes to show you how a person can grow up in America and have a college education and still not know a goddamned thing.
