When I say ‘homeschooled,’ I was homeschooled for, like, two years, and then we just stopped. It was me and my parents, and they’d give me homework and stuff like that, but then one day, they just stopped.
If I do have kids, I can’t wait because I’m excited to go back to school to help them with their homework and remember how to do simple math. I think it’s about staying curious and not losing the sense of wonder.

‘Grey Gardens’ consumed my life for over two and a half years. It really takes its toll on the family. I’m not there to tuck them in, help them with homework and eat dinner with them. When I work on a show, I only have about 20 minutes a day with my family.
I always panic on the first day of work. You can do all the Stanislavsky-backstory homework, but when that moment arrives and you are in the clothes, hair, and makeup of somebody else, and you’re saying the words created by somebody else – I never know how to do it. It’s a complete mystery to me.
It’s very hypocritical to constantly say, ‘We want to keep our kids close,’ then send them home with so much homework that family time becomes nonexistent.

I totally had OCD as a teenager. I used to have to touch all four sides of a picture frame when I got home from school and before I started to do my homework. It was time-consuming. But then I just outgrew it, though it sometimes comes back when I’m under a lot of stress.
I always had amazing food around the dinner table, a beautiful house to live in, cool clothes to wear to school, and help with my homework. I am so lucky.

Every time I watch CNN, it feels like you’re assigning me homework. Is Trump a Russian spy? I don’t know. You tell me – I’m watching the news. It feels like I’m watching CNN watch the news. Just take an hour, figure out what you want to say, then go on the air.
I don’t believe in sampling some Tibetan music just to make it sound groovy, but you do your homework, you understand what you’re doing with it.
Personally, I had a great education. My mum was a trained teacher, a Montessori teacher, and I know that I could not have written ‘Eragon’ if I had gone into a public school system because I would have just been too busy attending classes and doing homework – I wouldn’t have had the time to write.
Education is a cause very close to me. What matters is encouraging my fans to focus on their education, because only an educated generation can ensure a better future. Even when I was on tour, I did my homework and studied.

When you’re facing a different guy every at-bat, he’s coming at you with his best stuff. There’s no warm-up; there’s no ‘see a pitch.’ You’ve got to be locked in from the very first pitch… The biggest thing is do your homework before the game starts.

It’s coaches. It’s people that are involved in kids’ lives at every level, and it’s supporting their parents. Their parents need better jobs. So that they can help them with their homework and don’t have to work two jobs.
I understand how hard it is to force yourself to be someone different. By the end of high school, I had taken to doing my math homework up against a concealed wall during lunch because I was tired of socializing.
Getting somebody like Phil Jackson to come in and build the team is sort of like getting Einstein to help you with your math homework.

You would think, because I stayed to myself and I was shy, that I’d be a good student, but actually, I was a bad student. I was in detention a lot, mainly for cutting, being late to class. I was in tardy hall a lot. I hate the idea of homework. I don’t get it.
