I was a student of Sanford Meisner for three years at the Neighborhood Playhouse, and I studied with Lee Strasburg for five years and became a member of the Actors Studio. What I studied came right from the horse's mouth. My students have a lot to learn from me, and I am so eager to share it.

Hoping to instill my love of learning in other children, I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, 'Flying Fingers,' debuted; since then, I have spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world.

I felt like I was a teacher. But nowadays, I am as much a student of his. He writes a lot of what we play.

I really could've been a good student, but I was always hearing an imaginary audience.

I have a very good relationship with my peers both on and off the pitch.

I don't know about relationships. Maybe I'm supposed to travel and make films and meet people and have adventures instead.

While it was a very interesting period in my life, I was happy to get back to more direct contact with students in the classroom and in my research projects.

A practical part of my teaching is to provide demonstrative, hands-on experiences.

I found school quite tough, but Saturday night was movie night, and I started to empathise with the characters on screen. I started to get more involved with what these people were experiencing. Film inspired me to do better.
