The first task in teaching for creativity in any field is to encourage people to believe in their creative potential and to nurture the confidence to try.

All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.

We have sold ourselves into a fast food model of education, and it's impoverishing our spirit and our energies as much as fast food is depleting our physical bodies.

The combination of creative energies and the need to perform at the highest level to keep up with peers leads to an otherwise unattainable commitment to excellence.

Everyday, everywhere our children spread their dreams beneath our feet and we should tread softly.

Up to a point you welcome being interrupted because it is only by interacting with other people that you get anything interesting done.
