1) Education is…?

One of the keys to knowledge.

2) What sports club were you in?

I played netball because that was where all the chicks were; anyway, I?was in the soccer club.

Change my hairstyle. Back then, I had a style called slope.

4) The last time I studied for exam was…

In film school in 2004.

5) As a student your favourite class was…

I did not have a favourite as such. I enjoyed most of the classes except maybe swimming?because I could not float to save my life.

6) What sort of student were you?

I was the class clown. I figured a little bit of comic relief during the seriousness of learning is not necessarily a bad thing.

7) Best high school memory…?

The whole high school experience was memorable.

8) Worst high school memory...?

The day I finished school. I realised that I would have nowhere to go to for a while.

9) Most influential teacher…?

There was no teacher in particular; I took away with me a little bit (wallets, watches, course books, patience among other things) from each one of the teachers that I encountered (laughs).

10) What was your dream career growing up??

What I’m doing now — film production.
