I use the theory of classical music all the time. It’s like being fluent, knowing the notes of chords, scales and about basic harmony. Bach makes the best starting point – beautiful music made within simple rules that can be easily explained to children. Once you understand that system, you can go anywhere in music.

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

There is no single ‘store’ in your brain for long-term memories. Instead, they are all over the cortex, in the brain areas which were active when you first experienced them. So for a complete memory (composed of sights, sounds, etc.) to be retrieved, all the different bits must be brought together. How this happens is still a mystery, but it may be co-ordinated by the hippocampus.

if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
