I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct. ↗

What's the point in wasting a perfectly good brick wall when you have someone to throw against it, that's what I always say. ↗
