And I love writing. I've always loved writing.

Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.

You lie awake at 3 in the morning thinking of story ideas. You're online at 8 a.m. on a Sunday or midnight on a Wednesday. It's a job that you never push aside.

You can't be distracted by the noise of misinformation.

It's very rare that publications double their frequency.

See, what we were going to do was say, the Internet is this great business strategy tool.

The stock market can be down, but the stock market is not an indication of where people's spirits and enthusiam are, and where their intellectual energy is.

You can't suppress creativity, you can't suppress innovation.

The collective energy of everyone is what really made Business 2.0 exciting.

The best rock musicians are the most exciting people in the world.

I still believe that the mission of Business 2.0 is very strong, very fundamental, and we're really at the beginning of where they're going to take us.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

You're like a plant. Very pure... so opposite from me that it surprises me. Maybe I can stay pure if I don't have to deal with people.

Respect the hand stronger than your hand if and only if that hand is just and an honourable hand!

Political people don't solve stuff - not really. Political people are like guys in pop music.

The debate on how to shrink the federal government is at the core of our problem of government not doing its job.

Art in the art world, and culture in general, are branches of the media, which produces our political and social thinking climate.

The guy who finally pulled the trigger on Osama bin Laden is not patting himself on the back. He's giving as much credit to his teammates who got him to that position.

With great victory comes great sacrifice.

One thing is clear, everyone, no matter what their professional or material status, no matter what their influence on various state structures, must obey the law.

Going back to a simpler life based on living by sufficiency rather than excess is not a step backward.
