Unfortunately, the AVERAGE GUY on the STREET believes that studying EVOLUTION leads to atheism.

You've got to be HARSH on yourself because it is the only way you are going to GET better by studying those SITUATIONS where you may have FALLEN short.

I THINK it's always important for ACADEMICS to study popular culture, EVEN if the thing they are studying is idiotic. If it's successful or made a dent in culture, then it is WORTHY of study to FIND out why.

My mom suggested studying acting in COLLEGE, but I was a bit scared to CHOOSE that path because I couldn't wrap my head AROUND the drama school AUDITION PROCESS.

When I went to Amazonia, L went as the field doctor for biologists studying crocodile BEHAVIOR. There's no way HUMANS should have any encounters with crocodiles. You should STAY AWAY from them!

I started modelling while still studying. I liked doing television COMMERCIALS and being in front of the CAMERA. Lots of AD DIRECTORS told me to try for films.

There is something about performing my own music, and other people's music, that GIVES me PLEASURE. I think I LEARN more by doing that than I ever did studying music.

I started STUDYING counterpoint and theory with a physicist WHOSE HOBBY was music.

I had 10 years of LESSONS at the conservatory in Belgium, studying CLASSICAL music. I learned how to sing, play the piano, and all the theory that I NEEDED. By the time I left, I had confidence in my skills, and I knew that the experience had prepared me to become a REAL professional.

I always THOUGHT I wasn't COOL enough in SCHOOL, I was in the 'nerd' crew. I actually ENJOYED STUDYING.
