I'm very good with technology I always have been and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them but a source of fun and amusement.

Despite all our gains in technology product innovation and world markets most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

Technology favors horrible people.

Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.

The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology but it will date it. By definition. Eventually it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.

The Internet is so big so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

I think people have a vague sense that the television system is changing.

I think it is inevitable that people program poorly. Training will not substantially help matters. We have to learn to live with it.

People are stunned to hear that one company has data files on 185 million Americans.

People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

Our government is the potent the omnipresent teacher. For good or ill it teaches the whole people by its example.

If we can teach a teacher we can reach more people.

The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher America entrusts her most precious resource her children and asks that they be prepared... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society.

We're understanding what Obama is. He is the great teacher. He is this guy that stands above everybody. There's some condescension in it but he stands above everybody and says 'Now listen. You people have to stop blaming each other unreasonably. You have to get along here and I am going to show you the way.' It is a pretty brave role in many ways.

Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people I did not choose acting acting chose me. I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football. In about 9th grade an English teacher told me I had a talent to act. He said I should audition for a performing arts high school so I did on a whim. I got accepted.

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

I want to clear up a few myths about myself. People have written that I was a kindergarten teacher and a former Miss Texas and neither is true.

My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites.

A teacher enlarges people in all sorts of ways besides just his subject matter.

I had a great drama teacher and he sort of made out drama school as this incredibly difficult thing to get into: 6 000 people apply every year and some of the schools only have 12 places. It's a phenomenally difficult thing to get into. And that excited me - I wanted that challenge.

I took an acting class. After the first day the teacher quit so they said take another. When I saw 'How to be a Stand-up Comedian ' it resonated. I realized I'd rather make 200 people laugh than make one person cry.

Ironically for a few million people in the Far East I did become an English teacher through my music.

People can look to me as a teacher but I consider myself a student of hip-hop.

You know a lot of those angry sort of Southern man characters that I've been doing are based on different people I might've had as like a soccer coach or as a teacher.
