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 taught English, first at a Catholic school and then at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, Calif.

In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

I went to a Catholic school, and I just rebelled.

I attended private Catholic schools in Paris and Los Angeles through high school.

I was raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school for 12 years.
