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

- I had people in my life who didn't give up on me: my mother, my aunt, my science teacher. I had one-on-one speech therapy. I had a nanny who spent all day playing turn-taking games with me.
- Temple Grandin on Teacher
- I had this wonderful career and thought I would retire as a teacher.
- I have always believed that 98% of a student's progress is due to his own efforts, and 2% to his teacher.
- John Philip Sousa on Teacher
- I have an education degree from the University of Minnesota, and I was a teacher for about a minute.
- Loni Anderson on Teacher
- I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
- John Steinbeck on Teacher
- I have good relationships with Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden and especially Richard Holbrooke - he is my teacher. I learned a lot of great things from him.
- Mikheil Saakashvili on Teacher
- I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

- Woodrow Wilson on Teacher
- I have to be a teacher to my daughters.
- Carnie Wilson on Teacher
- I hope that I serve by being a teacher.
- Jenna Bush on Teacher
- I kind of fell backwards into acting. I was studying to be a high school teacher. I look now and I understand completely, or actually barely, how much work it is to be a teacher. It's an incredible amount of work.
- Nathan Fillion on Teacher
- I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
- Lily Tomlin on Teacher
- I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports - he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12.
- January Jones on Teacher
- I love doing demonstrations. I think to be a great chef you have to be a great teacher. I love doing classes with people who love food and enjoy food, bringing them all around one table so to speak.
- Michael Symon on Teacher
- I love films that make me react emotionally and physically when you walk out of the cinema. Two of my favorite films however have got to be 'The Tree Of Life' and 'The Piano Teacher,' which also stars one of my favourite actresses Isabelle Huppert.
- Alicia Vikander on Teacher
- I love kids, so two things that I have thought about are being a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher.
- Karlie Kloss on Teacher
- I loved almost everything about being a teacher, but I was an unusual teacher.

- Vinny Guadagnino on Teacher
- I must have got my detailed, obsessive streak from my father, who was an English teacher, because my mother wasn't like me at all.

- I need a teacher quite as much as Helen. I know the education of this child will be the distinguishing event of my life, if I have the brains and perseverance to accomplish it.

- I never did very well in math - I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn't meant my answers literally.
- Calvin Trillin on Teacher
- I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
- Karl Lagerfeld on Teacher
- I never wore a tie voluntarily, even though I was forced to wear one for photos when I was young and for official events at school. I used to wrap my tie in a newspaper, and whenever the teacher checked I would quickly put it on again. I'm not used to it. Most Bolivians don't wear ties.
- Evo Morales on Teacher
- I played saxophone, so I was into jazz. I learned from each audience and each teacher that I had. I can't really tell you any rules or anything, but the way I develop my beliefs is really just by personally learning from different situations.
- I reached a time in college when I didn't know what I wanted to do. At that time, women's careers were essentially nursing, secretarial and teaching. My mother advised me to get my teacher's certificate.
- Kay Granger on Teacher
- I really enjoyed hanging out with some of the teachers. This one chemistry teacher, she liked hanging out. I liked making explosives. We would stay after school and blow things up.

- Anthony Holden on Teacher
- I remember telling my creative writing teacher that you never want to have a journal, because if you lose it, then someone's going to know all your secrets. And then she stopped using a journal, but I always write everything down... Anytime I travel, I try and fill up notepads.
- Garrett Hedlund on Teacher
- I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had, like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.
- Sanford I. Weill on Teacher
- I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.
- Paul Wellstone on Teacher
- I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher.
- A. N. Wilson on Teacher
- I spent most of my high school years on movie sets and I'd have like one teacher, which was really bad.
- Devon Sawa on Teacher

- Marvin Hamlisch on Teacher
- I started the class late. The teacher said I would have to learn as much in half a year that the others learned in a year. I did it.
- Katarina Witt on Teacher
- I stopped and gazed on the little dull man who was being paid to be a teacher of teachers. I turned and walked to the door, slammed it closed with a bang, and broken glass crashed to the floor. There was uproar behind me in the class, which did not interest me at all.
- I studied with a blind teacher from about 5 until I was 16, at two different schools. From the age of 12 until 16, I was in a boarding school-which, I believe, at that time was compulsory for blind children.
- George Shearing on Teacher
- I taught in a small teacher's college for three or four years, at which point all the administrators got a pay raise and the teaching faculty didn't.

- I think eventually I want to become a teacher, like my father wanted to be, and hopefully positively influence the next generation.
- I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class, the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.
- Kevin Mitnick on Teacher
- I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student.
- James Galway on Teacher
- I think my parents were happy that I'd gone to university and gotten a degree in history so they thought, 'Well if acting doesn't work for him, he can always become a history teacher or something.' Fortunately, the acting worked out.
- Derek Jacobi on Teacher
- I think once you're in the public eye, whether you're a boss, a teacher or whatever you do, that you're automatically in the position of role model. You have people looking up to you, so whether you choose to accept it or not is a different question.
- Talib Kweli on Teacher
- I think some parents now look at a youngster failing as the final thing. It's a process, and failure is part of the process. I would like it if the teacher and the parents would connect more. I think that used to be, but we're losing a little bit of that right now.
- Mike Krzyzewski on Teacher
- I think teaching should be an exalted profession, not a picked-on profession.
- Charles Schumer on Teacher
- I think the British people are very, very attached to the idea that the health service is free at the point of use. But there is no reason why every doctor, nurse and teacher in this country has to be employed by the state.
- George Osborne on Teacher
- I think there are so many ways to become interested in music. I believe signs of sustained interest gives a sense of the right time. Music, if thought of as a language, would perhaps indicate that as early as possible is not so bad. I do believe that a really nurturing first teacher that makes the child love something is crucial.
- I thought, well of course, Kinsey absolutely adored teaching. He was a wonderful teacher. So these kids really inspired me. So that was a clue I hung onto. He loved young people, he absolutely loved them. And he loved teaching them and trying to help them.
- Liam Neeson on Teacher
- I took an acting class. After the first day, the teacher quit, so they said take another. When I saw 'How to be a Stand-up Comedian,' it resonated. I realized I'd rather make 200 people laugh than make one person cry.
- Wendy Liebman on Teacher
