- I always think about which blood drive was going on in Georgia that day when that husband or mom or school teacher rolled up their sleeve and actually gave me a second chance at life. It's the ultimate gift of life, and I'm the one who was on the other end.
- Niki Taylor on Teacher
- I always wanted to be a teacher.

- Roald Hoffmann on Teacher
- I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.
- Alexander The Great on Teacher
- I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.
- A. C. Benson on Teacher

- I could undertake to be an efficient pupil if it were possible to find an efficient teacher.

- Catherine Helen Spence on Teacher
- I decided at age 9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies.'
- Richard Dreyfuss on Teacher
- I didn't have a teacher like Sister Mary Ignatius.

- Haruki Murakami on Teacher
- I didn't want to be the archetypal sponging brother-in-law, so I didn't go into acting when I got to the States. I thought, 'No, I'll go to school and then I'll be an English teacher that'll be fun.' But I was horrible as a teacher. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't inspire those kids to take an interest in Milton and Shakespeare and Donne.
- John Mahoney on Teacher
- I do a lot of work with the Dyslexia Institute because, for people with dyslexia who do not have parental support, it is a huge disadvantage. I was fortunate because my Mum was a teacher and she taught me to work hard.
- Susan Hampshire on Teacher
- I do home schooling. I went to regular school until fifth grade, and then I started doing home schooling, which it's completely different. I have a teacher on set with me and I just work with her, one-on-one.

- Margaret Spellings on Teacher
- I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life, I'm not a teacher, I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.
- Ellen Pompeo on Teacher
- I don't have a lot of skills, but one thing I can do is, I can compartmentalize. I can make that a little world that I can go back to, so I can be a waitress, or I can be a teacher, and then go and work on my book.
- Dana Spiotta on Teacher

- I felt like I was a teacher. But nowadays, I am as much a student of his. He writes a lot of what we play.
- Gary Burton on Teacher

- I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.
- I got into acting my junior year of high school. We got a new hot drama teacher and I was like 'Alright, I'll try drama.'

- Dan Savage on Teacher
- I got started when I was 3 years old because my father was a music teacher and my lessons were free. Instead of learning to walk, you learn to play the piano.
- Carla Bley on Teacher
- I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.
- Connie Britton on Teacher
- I guess by taking lessons early on, and really trying to play all the rudimentary stuff, and try to have it sound as good as my teacher. It took a lot of practice, which I enjoyed, and still do.

- Elizabeth Olsen on Teacher
- I had a great drama teacher, and he sort of made out drama school as this incredibly difficult thing to get into: 6,000 people apply every year, and some of the schools only have 12 places. It's a phenomenally difficult thing to get into. And that excited me - I wanted that challenge.
- Jeremy Irvine on Teacher
- I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon.
- John Leguizamo on Teacher

- Francis Ford Coppola on Teacher
- I had a ninth grade teacher who told me I was much smarter and much better than I was allowing myself to be.

- Dominic Cooper on Teacher
- I had a teacher in art school who said something about the only works he really enjoyed seeing or found much in were works where he had a sense that a discovery was made in the course of making this object. I like to hold to that as my marching orders.
- Martin Mull on Teacher
- 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.
- Ben Vereen on Teacher
- I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.
