I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class, the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.

Quotes by Kevin Olusola

As the daughter of a schoolteacher, I feel very strongly that the most important thing in school takes place right there in that classroom, and the interaction between the teacher and the child.

Quotes by Kenneth Cranham

I read 'the Hobbit' at the age when you're supposed to read it. I didn't read 'The Lord Of The Rings.' My father, who was an English teacher, advised me that once I had read 'the Hobbit,' that would be enough. I could then move on to Dostoyevsky.

Quotes by Ken Stott

If it wasn't for my drama teacher, I wouldn't be here right now.

Quotes by Keith Emerson

Seems like my iron play gets a little better every year. Which makes sense - I've been working hard on things with my teacher, Jim McLean.

Quotes by Keegan Bradley

When you become a parent, or a teacher, you turn into a manager of this whole system. You become the person controlling the bubble of innocence around a child, regulating it.

Quotes by Kazuo Ishiguro

I reached a time in college when I didn't know what I wanted to do. At that time, women's careers were essentially nursing, secretarial and teaching. My mother advised me to get my teacher's certificate.

Quotes by Kay Granger

I was on a sitcom called 'Gary Unmarried' for 37 episodes, and then I was in 'Bad Teacher' with Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake.

Quotes by Kathryn Newton

Oh, stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great.

Quotes by Katherine Jenkins

My parents wanted me to be a teacher. Because I could work most of the year and pursue the things that I love to do during the summer. It just seemed like a good plan.

Quotes by Kate Micucci

I always was songwriting in high school, writing songs while I was supposed to be listening to the teacher.

Quotes by Kate Pierson

A friend of mine said, no matter what I do I always look like an English teacher. She actually said, you still look like a Campbell's Soup kid.

Quotes by Kate Clinton

I started the class late. The teacher said I would have to learn as much in half a year that the others learned in a year. I did it.

Quotes by Katarina Witt

I was sent to a nice Church of England girls' school and at that time, after university, a woman was expected to become a teacher, a nurse or a missionary - prior to marriage.

Quotes by Kate Adie

I love kids, so two things that I have thought about are being a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher.

Quotes by Karlie Kloss

I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.

Quotes by Karl Lagerfeld

From the time I was ten, I thought of myself as 'good with words,' thanks to a perceptive and supportive fifth grade teacher.

Quotes by Karen Hesse

I have earned wages as a waitress, a nanny, a librarian, a personnel officer, an agricultural laborer, an advertising secretary, a typesetter, a proofreader, a mental-health-care provider, a substitute teacher, and a book reviewer. In and around the edges of all those jobs I have written poems, stories, and books, books, books.

Quotes by Karen Hesse

Miss Sarzin was the best teacher I ever had.

Quotes by Karen Joy Fowler

The funniest memory that I can recall about my school days has to be one incident that involved unfinished homework for numerous days. I didn't do any of my homework for days and days at a stretch, and kept stalling my teacher that I was extremely unwell and was under heavy medication.

Quotes by Karan Patel

I would suggest that teachers show their students concrete examples of the negative effects of the actions that gangsta rappers glorify.

Quotes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Steampunk is not a group of children in a classroom, sitting quietly while the teacher reads a story; it's the kids at recess, playing a wild, endless game of pretend.

Quotes by Kaja Foglio

I've always written. When I was in school, the only teacher who ever liked me was my creative writing teacher. I used to enter poetry competitions, and I don't think I ever lost one. So I had the idea for a while of being some kind of poet.

Quotes by Justin Townes Earle

I was very fortunate that a teacher saw that I read a lot and got bored very easily and had a lot of energy, so she said, 'You've got to go to this youth theater.' I joined Manchester Youth Theatre when I was really young, and I just loved putting on and being involved in plays and telling stories.

Quotes by Justin Chadwick

Experience is the teacher of all things.

Quotes by Julius Caesar

I took a couple of classes in clowning, but that was more like Lucille Ball kind of slapstick, not Ringling Brothers. But we had to do things silently, and the teacher would do this running commentary. 'Does this make Clown sad? Oh, Clown doesn't like that, does Clown?' Always 'Clown.' Never a name.

Quotes by June Diane Raphael

I'm sure any vocal teacher that listens to me would rather cut my throat than do anything - I do everything all wrong - but I think for me that's the best - because I don't think I have a voice so I think what I project would be style - if I learned to sing I'd lose my style.

Quotes by Julie London

I was ridiculed in public school for being smart. A teacher's pet.

Quotes by Julia Glass

I feel so very grateful to have the voice God gave me. It takes a lot of rest and training to sing, and I was lucky that I found a great teacher when I first moved to New York.

Quotes by Judy Collins

I remember my choir teacher in high school told me, 'When in doubt, sing loud.' I'm a terrible singer, but I always auditioned for the musicals, and would get cast in them because I really would just put it all out there. That was really good advice, and I think it works for everything, not just acting.

Quotes by Judy Greer

As a teacher at Princeton, I'm surrounded by people who work hard so I just make good use of my time. And I don't really think of it as work - writing a novel, in one sense, is a problem-solving exercise.

Quotes by Joyce Carol Oates

Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.

Quotes by Joyce Meyer

I've never had the patience of a teacher.

Quotes by Josh Turner

I have a half an hour warm-up I do that my voice teacher gave me. I exercise at least for an hour during the day. I don't have any superstitious rituals or anything like that.

Quotes by Josh Young

Years and years ago, I sang at a blues bar with a band behind me. It was with my friend, my guitar teacher at the time. I took some sporadic lessons.

Quotes by Josh Holloway

I don't want to have to be a teacher so I can be a comedian.

Quotes by Josh Gondelman

To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot.

Joseph Conrad

We are all busy. It's easy to find excuses for not reaching out to others, but I imagine they will sound as hollow to our Heavenly Father as the elementary school boy who gave his teacher a note asking that he be excused from school March 30th through the 34th.

Quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin

It was my family that wanted me to be a teacher. That was safe, you see. To be a painter was terrible.

Quotes by Josef Albers

I grew up with a strong Spanish influence. I tried to learn flamenco when I was younger. But it's like my teacher said: 'It takes a lifetime to learn flamenco.'

Quotes by Jose Gonzalez

Kathy Dewar, my high-school English teacher, introduced me to journalism. From the moment I wrote my first article for the student paper, I convinced myself that having my name in print - writing in English, interviewing Americans - validated my presence here.

Quotes by Jose Antonio Vargas

There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.

Quotes by Jonathan Shapiro

The contrasts between what is spent today to educate a child in the poorest New York City neighborhoods, where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages, and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail.

Quotes by Jonathan Kozol

When I was in college, I had the good fortune to have Joyce Carol Oates as my writing teacher. She told me that I could take an aspect of myself, and from that one bit of personality, I can create a character. This is what I have done, particularly in my novels.

Quotes by Jonathan Ames

I was a teacher for a long time. I taught at a community college: voice, theory, humanities. And nowadays, music education is a dying thing. Funding is being cut more and more and more.

Quotes by Jon Secada

I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.

Quotes by Jon Hamm

When I was a student at Mizzou, I was a daycare teacher. I did it because was a latchkey kid.

Quotes by Jon Hamm

It's a very hard goal. But, what I want is to tell people who are getting bullied to stand up to the bully and not let it be OK - tell a teacher, the principal, or your parents. I want people to stand up and to be confident.

Quotes by JoJo Siwa

While I was in India, my yoga teacher asked me to start teaching, and my life became about that for years. I taught 18 classes a week, therapeutics, and traveled to study with other teachers.

Quotes by Johnny Colt

I always wrote music for my friends, but my focus was on playing piano. I didn't think I'd be quite good enough to be a soloist, but I believed that if I worked hard enough, I could work as a player, a teacher.

Quotes by John Williams

As they work hard for our children, America's teachers often reach into their own pockets to make sure they have the best classroom supplies. I feel strongly that the federal government should help make up for their personal financial burden.

Quotes by John Warner

I come from labor country. My mom was a teacher and was very involved in the teachers' union.

Quotes by John Wells

Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.

Quotes by John Updike

In a home school, the kid does 95% of the work. But in a school system, since it's an indoctrination system, a teacher has to do 95% of the work.

Quotes by John Taylor Gatto

To this end the greatest asset of a school is the personality of the teacher.

Quotes by John Strachan

Muriel, my mother, was my main confidant. She was a teacher of English at Watford grammar school but took a break while my sister Madeleine and I were children. She held court in the kitchen, and we talked about everything.

Quotes by John Sulston

It's cool for me because I'm a director, but I'm also a teacher. I'm a lover of cinema, and I love working with people who are hungry and have the energy to really do better work.

Quotes by John Singleton

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.

John Steinbeck

I have always believed that 98% of a student's progress is due to his own efforts, and 2% to his teacher.

Quotes by John Philip Sousa

I feel blessed. I never wanted to be an actor. It just happened all by chance and fate. I was studying to be a teacher.

Quotes by John Ortiz

My grandmother wanted my father to be a teacher because she was a teacher. He didn't go down that road until much later in life; he just kind of retired after almost 20 years as being a visiting lecturer at Stanford, where he got his graduate degree.

Quotes by John Morgridge

Do I think it's OK to fight authority as long as you're only talking about the high school teacher? No.

Quotes by John Mellencamp

I'm sure that had I not been a coach, I would have been some form of a teacher.

Quotes by John Madden

I didn't want to be the archetypal sponging brother-in-law, so I didn't go into acting when I got to the States. I thought, 'No, I'll go to school and then I'll be an English teacher; that'll be fun.' But I was horrible as a teacher. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't inspire those kids to take an interest in Milton and Shakespeare and Donne.

Quotes by John Mahoney

Experience is a great teacher.

Quotes by John Legend

I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon.

Quotes by John Leguizamo

Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself.

Quotes by John Jay Chapman

I still remember the moment when my teacher, Mr. Budaza, walked into class and said, 'Today we are going to study 'Julius Caesar,' one of Shakespeare's most important plays.'

Quotes by John Kani

A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson.

Quotes by John Henrik Clarke

I was terrified of being a teacher. To stand in front of a classroom, the responsibility is boggling. Imagine! Standing in front of people!

Quotes by John Glover

I played the piano as a boy for six years, from the time I was six to 12 years old. My piano lessons ended when my father died because our family had no more money. I used to have a mestiza teacher. She'd come once a week to teach me piano lessons, and she'd bribe me each time with an apple; otherwise, I wouldn't play.

Quotes by John Gokongwei

I've been an assistant to a folklorist and a teacher. There may or may not have been some sandwich-making at a certain sub chain in my past as well.

Quotes by John Corey Whaley

Quotes by John Burnham Schwartz

So a good teacher always makes you do something a little bit more than you thought that you could do.

Quotes by John B. Goodenough

Quotes by Johan Cruyff

I think everyone should take an acting class. It's like therapy because you get to learn a lot about yourself if it's the right teacher. You're putting yourself up there in front of people, and it takes a lot of the intimidation of everyday away.

Quotes by Joelle Carter

The last person to teach me how to act was my A-level Theatre Studies teacher at school, which I literally still draw on. Got an A!

Quotes by Joe Thomas

Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that's not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.

Quotes by Joe Manchin

I was a very bad accountant; I didn't care about money, golf or discovering fraud. After about a year I was sacked; then I went into teacher training.

Quotes by Joanne Harris

My degree was in education, but the idea of being a teacher lost out to being a reporter. I worked at a newspaper for a while, then went to New York and worked in PR at RCA and NBC, and at 'The United States Steel Hour,' a drama series.

Quotes by Joan Ganz Cooney

I have decided not to give interviews and not to hold conversations with journalists who deal with the political activity of my wife rather than my activity as university teacher and researcher.

Quotes by Joachim Sauer

As an actor and as a performer, I've felt that the education system has really helped me in a lot of ways... there was always a teacher or a professor along the way that kept pushing me to the next stage.

Quotes by Jimmy Smits

In this outward and physical ceremony we attest once again to the inner and spiritual strength of our Nation. As my high school teacher, Miss Julia Coleman, used to say: 'We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.'

Quotes by Jimmy Carter

I feel really good in the teacher role.

Quotes by Jimmy Chamberlin

Quotes by Jim Pattison

Quotes by Ji Chang-wook

Quotes by Jesse Williams

Quotes by Jesse Williams

It's not our job to choose the best Sunday school teacher, like Jimmy Carter was. It's our job to choose who would defend and protect our nation, who would be the best president.

Quotes by Jerry Falwell, Jr.

I like to be loved by my children, and I quite like the 'Guardian' hating me. I like it when I read they want me to die painfully. Then I think I've really got under their skin. It's like annoying a teacher. Once they've shown signs of weakness, you really can go for them.
