Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years.

When I went to high school, an all-boys' school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn't make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down.

I flunked three grades before I got out of high school.

In high school for a couple years we did archery.

I played the trumpet for nine years, and then I joined the choir after that, and then I was in musicals in high school.

In elementary school, I did well in science, but I was a poor writer. When I got to high school, I failed all my courses.
