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:
“the cluttered eyes
of early mysterious night.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
“Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist—the only thing he’s good for—is to take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to be irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning. Even if it’s only his view of a meaning. That’s what he’s for—to give his view of life.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
