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 a completely rational society the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

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.
