A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
大学
College
I went to college for one semester, and I took every subject I could, and I ended up failing. So I thought to myself, Ever since I was a kid, I've loved expression - and that's when I started thinking about acting.
我上了一个学期的大学，我尽我所能地学习每一门课程，但我以失败告终。所以我对自己说，从我还是个孩子的时候，我就喜欢表达——那就是我开始考虑演戏的时候。
I always thought I'd go to university and then get a real job, you know. Now I want to do stuff that really makes me happy. Although I'm still trying to work out what that is. But for me there are always constants.
我一直以为我会上大学，然后找一份真正的工作，你知道的。现在我想做一些真正让我快乐的事情。尽管我还在努力弄清楚那是什么。但对我来说，总有一些常数。
I started in high school to be interested in music and from there, I decided to study in college. Yeah, you're right, I did start late, but luckily, because of my schooling, I picked up a lot of ground pretty quick.
我从高中开始对音乐感兴趣，从那时起，我决定在大学学习。是的，你说得对，我确实起步晚了，但幸运的是，由于我的学校教育，我学得很快。
When it came time to go to college, I had been accepted for Harvard when my father was offered the position of head of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company office on the west coast, and we moved to San Francisco.

I didn't think that college math was for me. I didn't think I'd be able to hack it. And that perception of math not being for girls, not being for girls who see themselves as socially well adjusted has got to change.
我不认为大学数学适合我。我不认为我能做到。那种认为数学不适合女孩，不适合那些认为自己社交能力很强的女孩的观念必须改变。
I believe in the social contract; therefore, I teach. I believe that the university is one of the last places that protects and preserves freedom; therefore, teaching is also a sociopolitical act, among other things.
我相信社会契约;因此,我教。我认为，大学是保护和维护自由的最后场所之一;因此，教学也是一种社会政治行为。
Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there's a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.

My school in St. Louis is great. They basically created a program where I can do online classes and independent studies when I'm traveling. But then I still get to go home and take classes in a normal school environment.
