We're not all nice, and there are a lot of levels of ambition and niceness.

There are a couple of teachers I have had without whose influence I would not be as happy with who I am.

I just want to make a point that it's not just great teachers that sometimes shape your life. Sometimes it's the absence of great teachers that shapes your life and being ignored can be just as good for a person as being lauded.

Everyone thinks I'm a nice guy, which is not a bad way to be perceived.

I think more and more respect has been accorded to teachers, and quite rightly so.

I think hidden underneath a lot of teachers are very sexy women.

A good teacher is a determined person.

People are always surprised at what a nice guy I am.

I like the nice guys. I like when they show the stories, the human element behind it all.

I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.
