You create your life, and you can recreate it, too. In times of economic downturn and uncertainty, it's more important than ever to look deep inside yourself to fathom the sort of life you really want to lead and the talents and passions that can make that possible.

From Ken Robinson

If you're running an engineering or finance company, all companies depend on ideas and ingenuity. I think the principles of creative leadership apply everywhere, whether it's an advertising company or whether you're running a hospital.

From Ken Robinson

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.

From Ken Robinson

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

From Ken Robinson

We live in worlds that we have forged and composed. It's much more true than any of the species that you see. I mean, it seems to me that one of the most distinctive features of human intelligence is the capacity to imagine, to project out of our own immediate circumstances and to bring to mind things that aren't present here and now.

From Ken Robinson

Now the problem with standardized tests is that it's based on the mistake that we can simply scale up the education of children like you would scale up making carburetors. And we can't, because human beings are very different from motorcars, and they have feelings about what they do and motivations in doing it, or not.

From Ken Robinson

Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it's not random.

From Ken Robinson

Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.

From Ken Robinson

I believe this passionately: that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it.

From Ken Robinson

What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.
