I think a lot of African-American kids don't have fathers to teach them how to dress, so you end up being taught by pictures in magazine and movies. You see cowboys, Indians, old Hollywood films, Cary Grant. It has an effect on you.
We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach.

It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.
I teach one semester a year, and this year I'm just teaching one course during that semester, a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s, people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion.

We all have a natural instinct to protect children from harm. It's never fun to see a child hurt, even if it's just a scraped knee.

Education has failed in a very serious way to convey the most important lesson science can teach: skepticism.

The young man who's had the Guggenheim fortune behind him all his life - he can hire all the authorities on the subject to teach him how to do a monologue, but he's never going to have the right stuff to pull it off. If he doesn't walk out onstage needing to walk out there, he doesn't have a dream of doing well.
We go old-school during the summer, like swimming or setting up lemonade stands. I try to teach my kids to make their own fun.
