I got picked on a lot, even by teachers too. I liked to listen to musicals and bake, and my homeroom teacher found out and mocked me in front of the whole class for baking.

I was always drawn to teachers who made class interesting. In high school, I enjoyed my American and English literature classes because my teachers, Jeanne Dorsey and Dani Barton, created an environment where interaction was important.

I was a popular professor. My teaching ratings were usually good. I could take complicated subjects and explain them in an entertaining way.

I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children.

The best teachers that I had were always the ones I never wanted to disappoint.

I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children. Some of the teachers were just doing their job, but others had that little extra. They really cared about children and they wore pretty dresses.

There were some extremely good teachers there that were great artists really in their own right. It was actually very hard to concentrate on getting down to going any work being an art student especially when it's a flighty thing at best.

I loved almost everything about being a teacher, but I was an unusual teacher.

Great teaching - just plain old knock 'em dead, get it right, make 'em laugh, make 'em wonder instruction - is always going to be rare. Good teachers abound. Great ones are special.

In college, my teachers were usually after me for going after comedy too much, leaning too much in that direction.
