Too many people never connect with their true talents and therefore don't know what they are capable of achieving.

Being wrong doesn't mean being creative - but if you aren't afraid of being wrong, you can't be creative.

My contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.

Creativity is a process more often than it is an event.

Somewhere in, I think, the back of the mind of some [education] policy makers is this idea that if we fine-tune it well enough, if we just get it right, it will all hum along perfectly into the future. It won't, and it never did.

Being in your element is not only about aptitude, it's about passion: it is about loving what you do...tapping into your natural energy and your most authentic self.

If you can light the spark of curiosity in a child, they will learn without any further assistance.
