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 related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
