After I started Slipknot, I was very honored because I got in touch with the masses. But I was very down on myself because I dropped out of college, which meant I dropped out on myself.

Shawn Crahan

I didn't own a record player when I was younger. I just played every day after school and then started gigging around town. I heard bands and songs through friends of mine, but a lot of what I picked up on was learned by traveling through college towns.

Michael McDonald

I went to community college for about a year but I'd started taking music seriously by then so I dropped out.

Caitlin Rose

Someone thought that I dropped out of Harvard. I am a college dropout, but I dropped out of Temple University in Philadelphia.

Paul F. Tompkins

I dropped out of school at 17 'cause all I wanted to do was play music. I had odd jobs on the side of gigging until I turned 22, when I was lucky to start doing this full time.

I used to listen to 'Ready to Die' around the time I dropped out of college. I was scrambling for work and money.

ASAP Ferg

I dropped out of college, started playing music. I was going to do what I was going to do and it is what it is.

Chuck Mosley

We have such a high drop-out rate from musicians, said the head of the college. He was right - I dropped out before I even dropped in. Months later they were still asking what had happened to me, not realising that I was on a UK tour.

Holly Johnson

I started trading around 1979, fresh out of college. In the early '90s, I started guesting for major news media.

Rick Santelli

I went to Brighton College, Shoreham College for one year, then to Spring Valley High School in Las Vegas for a couple of years.

Chris Eubank Jr.

I'm really happy about American Woman, it brought the Guess Who back. They started gigging again and got their song out on commercials.

Lenny Kravitz

Around the time I dropped out of college, I decided to start taking what I liked about short stories and apply it to writing songs - to make these things that would change and keep going.

Avey Tare

I started young in my profession, in my second year of college. I had to make a career choice. College life is the best time when you can hang around and do all kinds of crazy stuff. Everything clicked so well that the films started coming in bunches.

Koel Mallick

I dropped out of Reed College [Portland, Oregon] after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

Steve Jobs

Pizza made me who I am. In the summer of 1998, I dropped out of college and started a pizza restaurant called Growlies in my hometown in rural Canada. My seed money: a credit card with a $20,000 limit.

Ryan Holmes

If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.
