In the face of technology everything becomes a little atavistic.

Non-profits must become deeply engaged in the ways that their donor communities are using social technology.

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

My mother a teacher encouraged me to use my creativity as an actual way to make a living and my father a Mississippi physician did two things. First he taught me that all human beings should be treated equally because no one is better than anyone else and he never pressured me to become a doctor.

Once I accomplish one thing and I'm satisfied I try something else. I may be 50 and doing something totally outside of music and acting. Maybe I'll become a kindergarten teacher.

My major was Fine Arts and Education thinking I would become an Art Teacher. I couldn't visualize myself as an art teacher thinking how it wouldn't work.

I think eventually I want to become a teacher like my father wanted to be and hopefully positively influence the next generation.

My mother was an English teacher who decided to become a math teacher and she used me as a guinea pig at home. My father had been a math teacher and then went to work at a steel mill because frankly he could make more money doing that.

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

Ironically for a few million people in the Far East I did become an English teacher through my music.
