Al Kingsley Transcript

"I think that that love of learning really comes down to inquisitiveness and that sense of actually, the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know."

"The one thing I want every child to leave school with is a love of learning and a passion to learn more. Not a sense of ``I've got through that and never again.'"

-Al Kingsley
