My grandma was so old-fashioned. She thought we were supposed to have homework every night. I would come home, and she would be like, ‘Where’s your homework?’ and I’d be like, ‘I don’t have none.’ She’d be like, ‘I’ma call your teacher.’

Maybe I was unpopular a bit because I was a teacher’s pet. But even the teachers complained about me. They would say to my parents, ‘For every one question any pupil asks, Walter asks 10.’
