Hugh Hendry on the value of idleness

I've been very good at being idle.  Sitting in front of unnamed terminals for 10, 12 hours a day may be good as you kind of justify what you are doing, but I don't think it's been very good for ideas and radical ideas.  I think some of the best ideas we have is when the mind relaxes, when we do other activities.  So I think if I've succeeded at anything, I've succeeded at being idle.
