In one program, he said, "I only went to (middle) school in the beginning of the semesters or during the exam times, but I felt that I was intruding the classmates' regular schedule, and I was apprehensive of how they'd think of me if I went to school only during the exams, which is why I took the GED."

He added, "I took a break from working and went to school to get closer to my classmates and get experience of school life, but they thought I went to school because I didn't have any work to do," confessing the wounds he received from the prejudices on celebrities.
