… as we are being blunt, the fact is that Tony [Abbott] and the people who put him in his job do not want to do anything about climate change. They do not believe in human caused global warming. As Tony observed on one occasion “climate change is crap” or if you consider his mentor, Senator Minchin, the world is not warming, its cooling and the climate change issue is part of a vast left wing conspiracy to deindustrialise the world.

— Nick Minchin

No matter how skilled a mentor is, it seems that being a mentor once in a few years is just enough when considering PhDs.

— Eraldo Banovac

I had the benefit of being guided by Lew Wasserman. I think part of being a mentor is you have to have confidence in the people you’re guiding and mentoring.

— Sidney Sheinberg

My mentor Jon Simmons introduced me to the Stanislavski system, which is so heavy on back-story. So you write and write and write these back stories about a character and then you throw it away. So then on set, if it doesn’t come, then you didn’t do your work.

— Chris Zylka

I just like artist-driven projects, but for artists themselves: artist spaces, artist mentor programs, and artists buying buildings and making lofts. Doing whatever we can do. Because at the end of the day, I really think that we as a community only have each other.

— Mark Bradford

I don’t know how many roles I can ask my dad to play in my life, but so far, father, best friend, role model, mentor and grandfather to my children are working out quite well.

— Bryce Dallas Howard

Your first job, I tell people I mentor, is managing your affect. Be nice and say nice things. Make it so that the people walk away from interacting with you and say, ‘That was fun.’ That will make them want to come back and do it again.

— Jill Soloway

Occasionally, I like to select a mentor, a master, and let him guide me through a revision of one of my paintings… I try to move into his terrain, bringing my own ammunition… I do not believe… that this belittles my own personality.

— Rico Lebrun

I consider myself a product of Berry Gordy, but not a clone… He and I are always friends and colleagues, and I will always revere him as a mentor and boss. Though, of course, I’m always struggling for more equal footing.

— Suzanne de Passe

I only act in films where I’ve got an A-lister as my mentor.

— Taron Egerton

It was very challenging to mentor the mentors, and yes, you do see more sides of my personality.

— Tim Gunn

Find someone within the company who is on another team but is at a similar level or role as you to be a friend, a sounding board, and a place to go for candid feedback. Find a mentor within the company who resembles the leader you’d like to grow to be.

— Katrina Lake

In the world of comics, Jack Kirby and Will Eisner may have been more influential artists, but Joe Kubert was its most influential man. Even if he were to be remembered solely for his body of illustration work, he’d still be one of the greats, but by opening the Kubert School in 1976, he was able to personally mentor and educate literally thousands of successful artists who owe their careers to his teachings.

— Mark Waid

Hillary Clinton was a hugely important mentor for me. I don’t talk to her every day, but sometimes mentorship means being able to watch somebody’s leadership from afar.

— Reshma Saujani

It doesn’t matter if you’re the smartest person in the room: If you’re not someone who people want to be around, you won’t get far. Likewise for helping those in line behind you. I take seriously my role as a mentor to young female filmmakers – I make sure my time is tithed.

— Melissa Rosenberg

There wasn’t a better teacher or mentor out there than Reggie White, on or off the field.

— Brett Favre

Pedagogical romances leave the mentor disgruntled, the pupil confused.

— Mason Cooley

I love that I’ve become a mentor, almost like a mother, to all the people out there that love Italian, that love cooking. I seem to make them comfortable.

— Lidia Bastianich

A successful mentor is proud of his mentees, knowing that he has given a part of himself in their success.

— Eraldo Banovac

I didn’t go to university or get a degree, but I hired somebody as a mentor – and that I considered my university education.

— Chevy Stevens

Acting is something I’ve done since I was in high school, but I never had a model in my life, whether it was a mentor or a parent, where I could realize that acting could actually be a career.

— Steve Zissis

Many people have overcome that home situation simply by having at least one caring adult, whether a teacher, mentor or religious leader.

— James Redford

The best way a mentor can prepare another leader is to expose him or her to other great people.

— John C. Maxwell

The best way I can mentor and lead those around me is to embody these qualities myself.

— Richard Davidson

How can you not have preconceived notions and expectations of who Kelsey Grammer is gonna be? He’s been in my living room since my TV was on. And he exceeded them all, somehow. He’s such a beautiful and open-hearted collaborator and mentor and such a great family man. I was just lucky to get to work with him and learn from him.

— Matt Bomer

Sometimes, life threw up problems that even the wisest, most trusted mentor couldn’t solve for you. It was part of the pain of growing up. And having to stand by and watch was part of being a mentor.

— Stanley Druckenmiller

My lifelong friend and mentor Frank Barsalona is gone. And the music business as we knew it went with him.
