“We need great teachers out there because people need great role models. It’s one of those things that you look back and think about those really great teachers that we had and some who … didn’t make an impact on me and I think we learn more from them of what not to do.

Education and healthcare are the two most important things if you think about it.”

“I take it all in stride - one day at a time - and just try to do a good job! I think it's important also to focus on being true to your character and not let all the hype get to you...just tell the story, and hopefully you'll be interesting to the audience.”

“The fan base will always hold a place in my heart, because they have always been so great to me, and I never forget it or take it for granted.”
