I think the fact that I created something and had an enormous influence is indisputable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Generally, I think my work has so much influence because of its reasonableness.
I don't believe in the model of pure inspiration. All of my creative work stems from a dialogue with others.
In many senses, creativity and 'plagiarism' are nearly indivisible.
I tried to develop some theories that took account of the uncertainty in the world and the complexity in the world.
I'm not entangled in shaping my work according to other people's views of how I should have done it.
I believe in the power of ideas, I believe in the power of books, but you have to give them time.
It would be difficult to exaggerate the degree to which we are influenced by those we influence.
I don't see myself as being as big of an influence as other people seem to think.
I've been asked a great deal about the influence I've had with my work and it's impossible to say, you know.
I work very much on the principle that anything created by mankind has mischief and error hardwired into its inception.
