I didn't want to teach. I wanted to act. It was quite a long and difficult road to get there but very thrilling when I did.

I taught for 17 years in an inner city comprehensive schools.

I love teaching. If I made a trillion dollars, I would still teach. It's different every day. You get to meet intelligent people all the time - or at least most of the time.

At my age, you are naturally inclined towards teaching.

I always wanted to teach.

I never teach the same course twice.

I loved teaching. I used to teach fourth grade.

I've always wanted to make teaching a part of my life.

But these days there are a lot of younger people who would like to go into teaching but don't because the economic opportunities are sometimes elsewhere.

When I started Teach For America, I wasn't trying to come up with an idea that would change the world. I was trying to solve a problem much closer to home: I was a senior in college, and I had no idea what I was going to do with my life!
