I was really lucky. I had a really great opportunity. I went to an all girls, very small private school from seventh grade all the way to graduating. It was so wonderful because the focus was school at school...and during the week I could be that nerdy bookworm of a girl, and do six hours of homework at night.

Sophia Bush

I went to Paterson Public School No. 6. At the time, it was the worst school in the city. Ain't nobody want their kids to go to School 6; it was that bad. But it was where we lived. If you grow up in a bad area, there are bad things around it.

Fetty Wap

I was a huge bookworm, total nerd, so I was a victim in middle school. I was in three academic clubs, so I was an easy target.

Nicole Gale Anderson

I was a bookworm in school, and in those days it was easy to get books. Bigger cities had book shops.

Ruskin Bond

I was never a bookworm at all.

Anna Soubry

I was a library rat and a bookworm. I read all the time. I walked to school reading books. I read under my desk.

Chelsea Cain

Personally, I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm.

Zac Efron

I was a procrastinator and a bookworm but I passed all my School Certificate exams, the equivalent of O-levels; I got three distinctions, three honours and three good passes.

June Brown

When I was in my 20s, I was a bookworm - spent 12 hours of the day in the library. How I met George, I'll never know.

Laura Bush

I was popular in high school. I smiled, and I laughed, and I talked, and I wasn't bad-looking, but I was never considered beautiful - never, ever.

Angie Dickinson

I was a very bad student. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew I didn't want to go farther in school. I hated school and was always the bad one; I was always insulting the teachers.

Emmanuelle Beart

I was a bookworm. Every week I'd go to the library and get seven books. Remember libraries? I wonder if people still go. And I learned about everything from the library. I came from a Scottish family. Old school.

Colin Mochrie

It was strange: I never had an interest in school because from an early age I knew the only thing I wanted to do was to play music! So I didn't feel so bad not going into school when I was supposed to be there - why do I need Latin, geography, physical education, etc., and to get beaten on a daily basis?

Andy Rourke

I never enjoyed school and I was never that good at school so leaving wasn't the biggest thing, but the social aspect of school, leaving your friends, you lose contact with them a bit and now I have more friends at the race track than the friends I keep in touch with at school.

Lando Norris

I have long been an advocate of school choice, but I also believe the problem lies with school administrators and union leaders who refuse to believe there is such a thing as a bad school.

Bob Beckel

My father said, "Okay, enough with the Jewish school." He put me into a public school and he said, "If you are the first one in your class, that means the school is bad." That was his humor.
