I reject the notion that human beings have a single intelligence, which can be drawn on for the full range of problem solving.

Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.

Whether I will be remembered at all, I really don't get to choose, unless I shoot someone famous. It's not really anything I have much control over.

I don't worry about nothing. I have a lot of concerns. My life is full of concerns, but I try not to worry.

I like egg white omelets with veggies, or oatmeal with almonds and fruit.

I worked at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, lived there for three years, and lived in Baltimore for 12 years.

I'm not out to convince anybody of anything.
