Building one space station for everyone was and is insane: we should have built a dozen.
Everyone will tell you how rigid I am but a teacher has to be flexible. You can't cut the student to your cloth you have to cut yourself to theirs.
In the case of my book I don't think it's really the coming-out gay novel that everyone really needed even though it was received as such. The boy is too creepy he betrays his teacher the only adult man with whom he's enjoyed a sexual experience etc.
As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.
Ask everyone whether they're an actor or a doctor or a teacher or whatever is entitled to his or her opinion. But unfortunately because actors are in the public eye whether we want it or not sometimes our opinions carry more weight or influence than they deserve.
The true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be not to impart his own opinions but to kindle minds.
Nearly everyone I met worked with or read about was my teacher one way or another.
Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.

Everyone applauds each other's success in Hollywood because they know how tough it is but it really comes down fundamentally to the process.
Everyone has determination - it's a question of how you use it. Hers is based on power and success and conquering she doesn't care what she has to do or who gets hurt in the process. In that way we're very very different.
The great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land.
Democrats believe in reigniting the American dream by removing barriers to success and building ladders of opportunity for all so everyone can succeed.
I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.
While I was doing stand-up I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no and I even wore a few dresses.
What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.
