"Young children are wonderfully confident in their own imaginations. Most of us lose this confidence as we grow up.
Ask a class of first graders which of them thinks they're creative and they'll all put their hands up. Ask a group of college seniors this same question and most of them won't.
I believe passionately that we are all born with tremendous natural capacities, and that we lose touch with many of them as we spend more time in the world."
