My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent.

I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student.

My primary school teacher once poured a bottle of curdled school milk forcefully down my throat. Then I threw it up all over her suede shoes. I'd rather have drunk from the spittoon in Barney's barber shop.

I enjoyed school - although I ran away on the first day. I'd reminded the teacher that it was nearly time for 'Watch With Mother' on TV.

I had one companion. He was a teacher from the Ukraine who spoke English so we could communicate a bit. I learnt a few Russian words but it was hard to concentrate.

Both my grandmothers had upright pianos and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up and then I learned how to read music. I played so well by ear I could fool the teacher to believe I could play the notes. She'd make the mistake of playing the song once and I could play it.

I wanted to be a ballet teacher.

I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

My father was a writer and an acting teacher.

When a music teacher that I had at school was taken ill and we had a variety show and I had to fill in - that's when I realized I had a voice.

I was very inspired by my mother. She was a vocal teacher and sang in a band and my first memories of her were going out with her on the local circuit.

A teacher enlarges people in all sorts of ways besides just his subject matter.

The answer of course in the mouth of a Christian teacher is that in Christianity alone is there both present joy and future hope.

I feel really good in the teacher role.

The teacher of history's work should be ideally not simply a description of past cultures but a performance of the culture in which we live and are increasingly taking our being.

I had a teacher he was 86 years old and his name was Luigi in New York City and he said 'Never stop moving. You get to reinvent yourself.' So you have to find ways to reinventing yourself. Especially today because it's a whole different market - social media is so important.
