I talk about acting to students making the transition from high school to UCLA. Kids going into this profession really need to know the reality of it.
I tell my students that if you have enough preparation, you can handle the big interviews. You won't be intimidated.
I find teaching - I like it, but I find just walking into the classroom and facing the students very difficult.
Being an artist is not easy - I have always said that to the students I have taught over the years. It's a huge sacrifice.
My students should be afraid: choosing what kind of work you'll do to a great extent means choosing who you'll be.
I was a little fat pudgy kid with big thick glasses, and I was quiet and never said a word, you know - teachers loved me, straight-A student.
Why should every single character be an honor student who goes around helping others and never doing anything wrong? Is that like the rule or something?
After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

The more laws that governments pass, the less individual freedom there is. Any student of history will tell you that. Totalitarian countries ban pretty much everything.
I think it is very important for any U.S. administration to be clear that America stands on the side of freedom and democracy and respect for individual rights.
Top-up fees mean that universities are increasingly under pressure to confer degrees upon students, who perceive the degree as a commodity they've purchased. Failure doesn't enter into anyone's calculations.

I tell students and young professionals all the time to follow their hearts, do what they truly love, and if it's business, run it by being grounded in ethical consciousness.
Whether it's in an inner-city school or a rural community, I want those students to have a chance to take A.P. biology and A.P. physics and marine biology.
