“I like teaching because I’m an extrovert, an egotist, a ham actor if you like. It’s my job not only to have ideas and opinions, but I’m expected to express them. My audience is a caged audience. Bob Hope? Lowell Thomas? Name me one actor or lecturer who does not yearn for such an opportunity! It’s mine five days a week… I like teaching because it is a cooperative rather than competitive profession. We meet, we share, we live and work in what is essentially a cooperative atmosphere, an atmosphere we often fail to appreciate because we have never known any other.”
