Early Life
Considine was born in 1974 (according to some sources), brought up and still resides in Burton upon Trent in Staffordshire. He grew up with his brother and sisters in a council estate in Winshill, a suburb of Burton. In 1990 he enrolled to do a National Diploma in Performing Arts at Burton College, where he first met Shane Meadows. Neither Considine nor Meadows completed the Performing Arts course.
He attended, among other schools, Abbot Beyne Senior School and Burton College, all in Burton upon Trent. In 1993, Meadows moved from his home town of Uttoxeter to study in Nottingham, and Considine moved away in 1994 to study photography at the University of Brighton, where he went on to get a first-class degree in photography. In April 2011, Considine revealed that he had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread”; and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
