I'm a very happy university professor... the best thing about being a university professor is that you see young people as they're being shaped and molded toward their own future, and you have a chance to be a part of that.

I am a professor at Stanford; I am a happy professor at Stanford. That's where I'm staying.
My father is a college professor and that's about the extent of my college experience. I'm sort of a professional student forever. I think just as human beings we always have a student who is alive in us and is waiting to pop up and make us feel like we are 16 years-old again.
My mother wanted me to be a professor, because I have several people in my family who are professors at university.

I've always loved teaching and reading and talking to people, and my grandfather was a professor.
It was always assumed I would be a professor. I grew up thinking it.
I've always loved being a student.
You should allow professors to become really outstanding academicians, recognised worldwide, and you should reward them.
I have a passion for academic life, a passion for students and for the ability and the narrative of a university to make a difference in the world in which they reside.
Every summer, I regret that I didn't become a college teacher. Such a sweet life! With all that vacation time! You'll never get me to believe that being a tenured professor at a good college is anything but Heaven on earth.
