I wanted to be an English teacher. I wanted to do it for the corduroy jackets with patches on the side. When I got to college, as I was walking across campus one day, I ripped off a little flyer for this sketch-comedy group. It ended up being one of the greatest things I've ever done.

I wanted to be a teacher.

I planned on being an English teacher, but I don't know where that went.

I always wanted to be a teacher.

All I wanted was to be a university teacher.

I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.

I wanted to be a ballet teacher.

I wanted to be a fashion designer.

I initially thought I was going to be a teacher. Maybe like an elementary teacher or something like that, which would be fun. Maybe someday.

I became a teacher all right. I wanted to become a teacher because I had a misconception about it. I didn't know that I'd be going into - when I first became a high school teacher in New York, that I'd be going into a battle zone, and no one prepared me for that.
