I Would Say This To My Students

If I Had To Choose A Single Destination Where I'd Be Held Captive For The Rest Of My Time In New York, I’d Choose The Metropolitan Museum Of Art.

Go To Lord & Taylor On Fifth Avenue, I Think It's The Eighth Floor, And It's Just A Department Called 'woman.' It's Rather Devastating. You've Never Seen Such Hideous Clothes In Your Entire Life. I Mean, It's Simply Appalling. Thank God There Are No Windows On That Floor, Because If I Were A Size 18, I'd Throw Myself Right Out The Window [after Seeing Those Clothes]. It's Insulting What These Designers Do To These Women.

I Would Say This To My Students All The Time, It's About 30% You As The Teacher And 70% About Them. They Tend To Think That Their Role Is To Be The Baby Bird In A Nest And You're Going To Feed Them? They're Going To Feed Themselves, Or They're Going To Starve.
