I certainly identify with the role of mentor and, to some degree, maybe teacher. I do a lot of work with kids at the Old Vic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had many, many mentors that I worked with. Music teachers, choir directors, directors in summer stock or in regional theater. You know, people I was able to work with repeatedly and learn from who were really sort of appropriate people for me to work with at a given time in my development as an actor.
I've definitely had mentors, whether parents or friends or actors who I like.
I look up to people that are much older than me, so being a mentor is a full time job.
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.
It's wonderful to work with someone with mentor status.
All of us are mentors. You're mentors right here and now. And one of the things I've always done throughout my life, I have always found that person, that group of people that I was going to reach my hand out and help bring them along with me.
I've had many mentors, but the one that has the most impact was my mother.
Being a mentor is something that's new for me but a role that I take very seriously.
As a college student, I worked as a mentor, and that got me involved in working with young people long before I became a foster parent.
A mentor, a 'teacher,' is like an editor. I absolutely value my editor, who is my teacher.
