I had decent but not great grades in high school because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up. Wooster saw something in me, and I really flourished there. I got into theatre, took photography and painting classes.

I was the hallway clown in high school.

“Where did you learn how to shoot?” he asked.

In high school, I always dressed to impress the girls.

You do not know me, but I am a juvenile delinquent. I do not trust authority figures, I probably will not graduate from high school, and statistics say my present rowdiness and vandalism will likely lead to more serious crimes. I am a dangerous fellow, and I am causing mayhem in this store. […] There. I have now shamelessly destroyed the symmetry of this shelf, undoing hours of labor by underpaid store employees.

I think if I was 5-foot-3, I would have been really popular and dated a lot more in high school. I didn’t develop like the pretty girl.

When I was a little boy in school I had to dress up as a bunny and there’s a picture of me with an annoyed face, and when I saw it, I thought I should name myself ‘Bad Bunny

I didn’t do any football stuff when I was a kid… Mostly baseball and basketball the whole time. That’s all I did. I played football starting in seventh grade. As I got older, I started playing a little bit more. Then in high school, I really fell in love with it.
