When I teach, I preach. I thump the Bible. I exhort my students morally. I talk to them about the dedicated life.

I love the most the students with troubled lives.

I went to parochial grammar school, and I give thanks to the Catholic training because of course, they brought me to the heart of Jesus.

Out of 3,500 students in my high school, I was the only openly professing Christian kid. Obviously there were challenges. 'Only old and stupid people believe.'

I don't envy my teachers. I used to preach to them.

I was a bookworm who aced every test - until third grade, when my teacher handed out a pop quiz about Jesus and the Apostles.

It's not important to me to found a school; it's not important to me to have disciples.

Jesus Christ is infinitely more than a great teacher and philosopher.

I think the real heroic teachers are the ones who work with kids, like my mom and my sister do.

I get scared to death when I see people who say they've found Jesus Christ, and they're out there, and I wonder, who's teaching them? Who's mentoring them?
