“I think some parents now look at a youngster failing as the final thin...” — Mike Krzyzewski Quote

“I think some parents now look at a youngster failing as the final thing. It's a process, and failure is part of the process. I would like it if the teacher and the parents would connect more. I think that used to be, but we're losing a little bit of that right now.”

“I hated to lose.”

“It's always an honor to be ranked high, but whatever is said about you, you take it and then take a realistic look at yourself and who you are.”

“Miss Sarzin was the best teacher I ever had.”

“Well, any teacher or coach derives his greatest pleasure in their profession or their process when they see their pupil succeed, so I would say I definitely enjoy that part of the game.”

“Becoming a performer, comedian - anything other than a teacher, really - seemed very far-fetched. So I kind of split off into this separate world, where secretly I was doing improv classes.”
