The most valuable aid I have found in teaching is to remember my own experiences as a student.

The year in school of a student is another factor that affects how an instructor interacts with his or her class.

In search of my mother's garden, I found my own.

I'm always inspired to write, and it's usually my own life experiences that inspire me.

I'm my own most merciless critic onstage.

I learn the most from making my own mistakes.
