I wanted to be a ballet teacher. Jaclyn Smith on teacher
Both my grandmothers had upright pianos, and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up, and then I learned how to read music. I played so well by ear I could fool the teacher to believe I could play the notes. She'd make the mistake of playing the song once, and I could play it. Valerie Simpson on teacher
I had one companion. He was a teacher from the Ukraine who spoke English so we could communicate a bit. I learnt a few Russian words, but it was hard to concentrate. Mathias Rust on teacher
I enjoyed school - although I ran away on the first day. I'd reminded the teacher that it was nearly time for 'Watch With Mother' on TV. Paul O'Grady on teacher
My primary school teacher once poured a bottle of curdled school milk forcefully down my throat. Then I threw it up all over her suede shoes. I'd rather have drunk from the spittoon in Barney's barber shop. Paul O'Grady on teacher
I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student. James Galway on teacher
My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent. Miles Teller on teacher
First play I ever did was 'Footloose.' I played the part of Willard when I was 16. I think I wore my drama teacher's jeans and her belt - that's how small I was. I know a lot of Willard's back story from the musical that's not explored in the film. Like he's got this whole relationship with his mama, and he sings this song 'Mama Says.' Miles Teller on teacher
I got into acting my junior year of high school. We got a new hot drama teacher and I was like 'Alright, I'll try drama.' Miles Teller on teacher
I love films that make me react emotionally and physically when you walk out of the cinema. Two of my favorite films however have got to be 'The Tree Of Life' and 'The Piano Teacher,' which also stars one of my favourite actresses Isabelle Huppert. Alicia Vikander on teacher
I studied with a blind teacher from about 5 until I was 16, at two different schools. From the age of 12 until 16, I was in a boarding school-which, I believe, at that time was compulsory for blind children. George Shearing on teacher
Dad worked his entire career as an aviation technician. Mom was a legal secretary who became a teacher. We lived a simple American life. Brian Sandoval on teacher
I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon. John Leguizamo on teacher
I went whole hog at the actor's lifestyle - really embraced it. I had by then known how much I loved acting already, because I discovered acting from a teacher in the seminary - that's the first place I ever did it, in the seminary. Peter Jurasik on teacher
I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports - he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12. January Jones on teacher
If it wasn't for my drama teacher, I wouldn't be here right now. Kel Mitchell on teacher
I got started when I was 3 years old because my father was a music teacher and my lessons were free. Instead of learning to walk, you learn to play the piano. Carla Bley on teacher
When you are studying jazz, the best thing to do is listen to records or listen to live music. It isn't as though you go to a teacher. You just listen as much as you can and absorb everything. Carla Bley on teacher
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. John Singleton on teacher
I was strongly encouraged by a science teacher who took an interest in me and presented me with a key to the laboratory to allow me to work whenever I wanted. Frederick Reines on teacher
