I quit high school the first day of 10th grade because I felt like I was wasting time.

In grade school I was smart, but I didn't have any friends. In high school, I quit being smart and started having friends.

I quit high school to be a pro skateboarder out of Ohio, which is just asinine, but it was meant to be.

I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962, and I was ready to make music.

I'm this high school dropout. I quit in my sophomore year, when I was 15. I worked for a while in a deli, and when I was almost 17, I got married.

Because I was a diminutive, arty kid, I felt like a misfit in high school - but who doesn't?
