The key thing is, even if you only have a couple of hours a month, those two hours shoulder-to-shoulder, next to one student, concentrated attention, shining this beam of light on their work, on their thoughts and their self-expression, is going to be absolutely transformative, because so many of the students have not had that ever before.

I think it's necessary to let kids get bored once in a while - that's how they learn to be creative.

I think a well-rounded education keeps us from being bored and boring!

My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed.

We had a great dramatics department in school, so I did a lot of plays and theatre there. Later, when I was the captain of our student's ward, I figured out that if you find something you really love to do, you don't have to work for the rest of your life! You can just have fun and still excel in it because you enjoy what you do.

I'm lively when I perform and I always put everything into a show, but when I get home I love lying down in front of the TV and relaxing.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

In many respects, my work is very enjoyable, for I seem to get on pretty well with the fellows and enjoy the work of instruction as well as my own studies.
