I had this wonderful career and thought I would retire as a teacher.

I am so appreciative I have been able to continue not only doing something I love, but working on movies I've loved.

I teach intermittently, and while I enjoy it, I don't find that it's a calling for me.

I always wanted my job to be something I that loved doing.

If i wouldn't have done comedy, I would have been a teacher. I was really good when I took an exploratory teaching class in high school, at getting kids' attention, and delivering lesson plans. Though my principal even told me that this was what I was meant to do. And that being a big-mouth comedian was a waste of time.

I don't think there's any thrill in the world like doing work you're good at.

The most rewarding thing is having a job that you love. It's not a luxury that everyone in this world enjoys.

I would have loved to study medicine, but I was lucky to have come into the profession that I loved. I may not have been very good at it, but I loved it.

I come from a family of educators. My sister is a college teacher. My dad is a college teacher, but first a junior high teacher.

I was going to become a teacher.

How many people do you know who love their jobs? Did your dad love his job? Was he passionate about it? Because I am. I love it. I love the relationships. I love teaching. I love the competition. I love everything about it.

When you have a job you know you'd do for free, it takes a lot of the pressure away to be successful at it. So if it's doing theater in New York or teaching acting, I'm down for all of it.

I've always lived by the principle of find what you really enjoy doing and make it your career.
