I was at a public school until I was in sixth grade when I moved to New York.

I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York.

I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.

I studied in a Catholic school in Oahu, and I went to a film school in New York.

There is no school in northeastern New York that is accredited.

I grew up in Queens, in New York City, in a middle class Jewish family. My mother was a public school teacher, my father was a lawyer. They were Democrats - kind of middle-of-the-road democrats.
