"Back to the Instagram thing, I do follow some teacher accounts. Sometimes I feel like, it makes me feel like a crappy teacher, because I’m seeing them do all these things. And I’m like, 'I’m tired right now. If I did all those things, I would either never sleep, or I would be just doing those things."
