“I think it’s important to be prepared for this era and what’s to come, and I also think it’s important to give a person an opportunity,” he told Access Hollywood.

“lf you work hard and you’re ready to put in the work [but] you can’t further your education because of, you know, money for whatever reason… that’s sad.”
