“I dabbled a little bit in acting in high school and then I forgot about it completely. And then at about twenty-five I went to a class. I don't think anybody in my family thought it was an intelligent choice. I don't think anybody thought I'd succeed, which is understandable. I think they were just happy that I was doing something.” ThinkingLittlesSchoolChoicesBitsActingClassSucceedLittle BitHigh SchoolMy FamilyIntelligent Author:James Gandolfini

“Intelligence is an interesting word. It is also something which, in my opinion, is misunderstood by many people. There are those who believe that we go to school to become intelligent. Or, the more experience a person has on a particular job, the more intelligent they become. This notion is not so. All knowledge is one hundred percent evenly present in all places, at all times. Aware is what you and I want to become. The more aware we become of this truth about intelligence, the better off we will be.” PeopleWantBelievePersonsSchoolJobsInterestingOpinionParticularPercentHundredIntelligentNotionAll TimeBetter OffMisunderstood Author:Bob Proctor

“School bored me. Being educated and being intelligent are two different things. I thought I was smart enough. And I wanted to be an entertainer.
