As a studious schoolgirl, I'd go back into the classroom every autumn brimming with enthusiasm.

I'm quite a studious person, I think.

As a kid, I was overly studious, overly serious, very academically driven. It was important to me on a cellular level to do well. And then I went to college at Harvard, and I relaxed a little bit.

At home, my parents were quite old, so the surrounding was of elder people. There was no noise. Reading books was encouraged; TV was not encouraged, so I was the geeky, studious type of girl.

What people are going to be surprised about is that Tia and I are really different. We're nothing like the characters on 'Sister, Sister.' We're kind of swapped. I was the crazy, mischievous one on the show - Tia was the studious, more serious one.

Looking back, I was a very good kid, very studious and all. But I would always come out with a quip - and I was sent to the principal's office several times.

I was a very nerdy child. I never fit in, so I became laboriously studious.

I went to a very academically competitive high school. So I was always quite studious and quiet, just to keep up with the other geniuses who were in my school.

I was very studious.

I was studious and bookish. Not just as a child but also as a teenager. I took myself too seriously.

Pop music for me was definitely escapist, but never studious.

Most of the stuff I've done is quite serious, so I'm usually studious.

How do we escape who we are? I think, going to college, I felt freer. I loved the clean slate. I wasn't known as the sort of nerdy, studious girl. I met gay people for the first time in my life. I needed that expansion from a very conservative little town.

When I was a kid, I used to do my homework in the living room, where there was a picture window. I was hoping that someone would walk by and see me looking very studious in my living room.

There is a slight tomboyish side to me. But I was studious, and I did not bunk classes!

I was not a studious kid, and I struggled to find things that would command my attention and engage my ideas and energies.

My father came from an intellectual and studious avenue as opposed to a brawler's avenue. So I had to go further afield and I brought all kinds of unscrupulous oiks back home - earless, toothless vagabonds - to teach me the arts of the old bagarre.

I'd like to think that the boring lady who's talking to me now is a lot sexier and more interesting than the one who's doing NPR. You know, studious and reserved, and - I bet you're a lot of fun at a party.

Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns.

I had always been quiet and studious in school. I was the high school editor of the newspaper.
