I didn't go to drama school, so I feel like I did all my growing up on 'Hollyoaks.'

I would love to do more work in the States, but I like working at home in the U.K., so to work here and there would be the plan.

The best students come from homes where education is revered: where there are books, and children see their parents reading them.

The mark of higher education isn't the knowledge you accumulate in your head. It's the skills you gain about how to learn.

I had kind of left college. I wanted to study to be a sports teacher, but I had that little inner voice within me that said, 'You should be doing something else,' and I followed that gut instinct.

It is part of the work of education to have substantive relationships with your students.
