I think that there were only two people in my high school that were comfortable there, and I think they are both pumping gas now.
I absolutely hated high school. As a freshman, I was 5 feet tall and weighed 95 pounds... When I got to high school, I had no social skills. Was I a nerd? More of a dork. Definitely not one of the popular kids.

At home, we live on the beach, and it's like every day is a date.
I grew up in Northern California, so the hippies were still around. My father and mother were very Republican, very strait-laced and very uptight, but my uncles were hippies.
I've been acting professionally since I was 24, and it's the only job I've ever done.
Marc Cherry is so good at writing himself into a corner, then writing himself out of that corner. It's really fun to watch that.
On some level, I think everyone felt like a dork in high school.
