10 QUOTES WITH «BOARDING»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word boarding.
1
Jamie Campbell Bower
I went to boarding school in the country, so there's no real differentiation between family and friends. I went there from when I was 8 until I was 17 - it was insane. If you earn my friendship, you are my family, and I'll do anything for you.
2
Kevin Brownlow
I was sent to boarding school - a grim place. The only good thing the headmaster did for us was every Sunday evening in the winter he would show us films in the chapel. He couldn't afford a sound projector, so we saw silent films, which you could then still rent from photographic shops.
3
Frank Bruno
I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.
4
Carmen Busquets
My parents sent me from Venezuela to the Convent of Our Lady, a boarding school in Hastings, which was horrible - like Harry Potter without the magic. Sometimes we went into town, and if we were caught chewing gum in our uniform, members of the public would take down our names and report us to the school.
5
Tucker Carlson
The two things I was positive about in life were that I was going to be a teacher at a boarding school or an operative with the CIA posted abroad. I could write a book about all the things I was sure about.
6
Henry Cavill
At boarding school there wasn't much time for much of anything except education.
7
Diane Cilento
At boarding school you had to wear your name across your chest and your back, and obviously I had a pretty funny name. It wasn't Brown or Smith or Hughes.
8
Benedict Cumberbatch
Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.
9
Alexis Denisof
I moved to Seattle when I was two or three years old. Had my early education there, and would spend summers on the farm in Maryland. Then I went to boarding school in New Hampshire, to St. Paul's School. From there, I moved to London.
10
Alice Englert
I deliberately went to boarding school. It was my choice. My mum was abroad and I wanted to wean myself off being dependent. It was a very important time for me to be able to create my own individual, independent life; just as a way of growing up.
