“I punched my music teacher because I didn’t think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled.”
About This Quote
On pp. 71–72: "Even in elementary school, I was a very assertive, aggressive kid. In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye. I punched my music teacher because I didn’t think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled. I’m not proud of that, but it’s clear evidence that even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a forceful way. The difference now is that I like to use my brain instead of my fists." He later said: “When I say ‘punch’ when you’re that age, nobody punches very hard. But I was very rambunctious in school.”
