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

We are educating people out of their creative capacities.

Finding the medium that excites your imagination, that you love to play with and work in, is an important step to freeing your creative energies.

When my son, James, was doing homework for school, he would have five or six windows open on his computer, Instant Messenger was flashing continuously, his cell phone was constantly ringing, and he was downloading music and watching the TV over his shoulder. I don’t know if he was doing any homework, but he was running an empire as far as I could see, so I didn’t really care.

Curiosity is the engine of achievement.

Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.

Human intelligence is richer and more dynamic than we have been led to believe by formal academic education.
