While technology and assessment can help complement the important work of our teachers, I worry that we are spending too much of our time testing.

It is important not to trust people too much.

I can't live with art: I'd spend too much time tweaking it.

I enjoy my work too much to force-feed myself with pressure.

I want to keep everything balanced. That's why it's important not to have too much fanfare.

The important thing to remember, if you are trying something that is an innovation, is not to think too much about it. Because if you take too long, by the time you get there, the world will have changed. You take a risk, and if it doesn't work, you make a change. We are not betting our lives on it.
