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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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