My real motivation came from my desire for music videos to have the same equal soul-touching emotional resonance that straight music does.

For some reason, humans have this funny thing about where we came from - it always has far more emotional weight than where we are.

I didn't realize how slow my four-year-old MacBook was until the web team wanted to start using it as the benchmark for a slow computer experience.

Music scores your life. You interact with it. It becomes the soundtrack to that one summer with that one girl.

In virtual reality, we're placing the viewer inside a moment or a story... made possible by sound and visual technology that's actually tricking the brain into believing it's somewhere else.

Virtual reality is a technology that could actually allow you to connect on a real human level, soul-to-soul, regardless of where you are in the world.

I don't know why but they you said it I started believing it.

When someone sings his own praises he always gets the tune too high.
