Ironically, for a few million people in the Far East, I did become an English teacher through my music. Pat Boone on teacher
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. Jon Secada on teacher
I had an art teacher who's the reason I got there in high school who encouraged me to go to Alabama. That's where she had gone and kept raving over their art department. Sela Ward on teacher

John Krasinski on teacher
