"But I find the best things I do, I do when I'm trying to avoid doing something else I'm supposed to be doing. You know, you're working on something. You get bugged, or you lose your enthusiasm or something. So you turn to something else with an absolute vengeance."
Enthusiasm
"I think really good books can be read by anybody."
Books
"I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting."
