I really make sure that my girls understand the importance of education. I don't want them to be spoilt and only know private school kids. I want them to behave well by example.

There was a time when I was in this private school and the kids were so conservative and close-minded that it was just appalling.

In Europe, kids learn at least four languages before they're out of high school. But our education system is so underfunded, they go to school to buy heroin and an AK [-47 assault rifle].

How could it come down to that? Kids have to get their education. They have to go to school.

I went to a private school, and I struggled academically. It was really disheartening to always be considered bad at that.

My parents pushed us very hard to work, both in the home, doing chores and cooking, and at school.
