â??Itâ??s weird to make a decision where everyone in your life disapproves, pretty vocally and directly. They said, 'You've got one year left. Just do it.' I had a full scholarship so I didnâ??t have to pay for it. I ignored them. They asked, 'Why donâ??t you just get the degree so you can have it?' And I said, 'You donâ??t understand. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do and now I know. I have the answer and itâ??s dumb to waste any more time.'â? - stated the comedian.
