I knew Slash in high school, but not very well. Just knew him as this kid that used to hang out in the hallway. Pretty much looked then the way he does now.

I see the human in everyone and everything. No one is more important than anyone else; I still hang out with my high school friends.

I was this 5-7 pudgy kid in high school... I wasn't a popular kid. I was an outcast.

I was crazy for music as a high school kid and a college kid.

It's not that our high school system was not designed well, but that it was designed in 1906 when the country was just out of the industrial era. There hasn't been a substantial systemic change the way we do high school since then.

You're not supposed to have it all figured out in high school. If you knew it all, and it was the best, it's all downhill from there.
