The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.

Your best teacher is your last mistake.

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

In the practice of tolerance one's enemy is the best teacher.

There were a few teachers who just did not like me because of my face. Once I was told to stand in the corner until I cheered up. The attitude was 'Oh for God's sake what's the matter with him?' But it's just a natural expression.

Teachers believe they have a gift for giving it drives them with the same irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a building.

Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

I had one drama teacher who was amazing Ms. Perkins. She really tried to inspire me and get me going.

If you love dance and you have the gift of teaching teaching is super amazing and important because my teachers planted that seed in me. As a teacher you understand the difference or the definition of a Baryshnikov or a Gregory Hines so teaching is really important and very necessary.

A few years back when my style was 'punk grandma ' I picked up an amazing pair of sandals - orthopaedic ones with really thick soles. I've given them away to a friend now because these days my look is more '1980s substitute teacher gone wild.'

While I'm not a celebrity it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

My wife a schoolteacher very disciplined. If you think I'm tough trust me and wait till you see when the children are on the naughty step. It's hilarious. So we decided that I'm going to work like a donkey and provide amazing support for the family.

Money is such an amazing teacher: What you choose to do with your money shows whether you are truly powerful or powerless.

Benevolence alone will not make a teacher nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself.

You can get help from teachers but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself sitting alone in a room.
