If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.

Whether or not you discover your talents and passions is partly a matter of opportunity. If you've never been sailing, or picked up an instrument, or tried to teach or to write fiction, how would you know if you had a talent for these things?

School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.

You can be creative in anything — in math, science, engineering, philosophy — as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.

Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it's not random.

The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student's education.

The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it's to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they're valued.

Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.
