My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.

Make the most of whatever it is that floats your boat…

Creativity is as important as literacy and numeracy, and I actually think people understand that creativity is important - they just don't understand what it is.

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

I define creativity as the process of having original ideas that have value.

I like university professors, but you know, we shouldn't hold them up as the high-water mark of all human achievement. They're just a form of life, another form of life.
