The Iranians know they hold high cards because of oil.

The starting point for energy security today as it has always been is diversification of supplies and sources.

The bulk of extra supplies that could be put into the market come from two places. One, they come from other Persian Gulf suppliers, of which Saudi Arabia is at the top of the list.

We are living in a new age of energy supply anxiety.

Cycles of shortage and surplus characterize the entire history of oil.

We experienced similiar fears in the 1880s, at the end of World War I and II. And we ran out in the 1970s.

So the major obstacle to the development of new supplies is not geology but what happens above ground: international affairs, politics, investment and technology.

To meet the energy challenge requires the most important energy of all - human creativity. That's the real prize.

People always underestimate the impact of technology. To give you an example: In the 1970s the frontier for offshore development was 200 meters, today it is 4,000 meters.

A premium in the oil price of somewhere between 10 to 15 dollars a barrel reflects this heightened anxiety.

But eventually it's a question of access: Getting access to fields is on top of the oil companies' agenda. We see a substantial build-up of supply occurring over the coming years.

There is no greater insight into the future than recognizing...when we save our children, we save ourselves

Space is going to be commonplace.

I love reading epic fantasies and big fat books and so I really wanted to write one. I think you always write what you want to read.

Don't be a marshmallow. Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk. Stop being vegetables. Work for Justice. Viva the boycott!

Where the determination is, the way can be found.

The wise man knows the only fitting price for his soul is a place in Paradise.

When we come to the last moment of this lifetime and we look back across it, the only thing that's going to matter is 'What is the quality of our love?'

The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you.

I've got a mission to help people improve and massively change their lives and create breakthroughs, so I'm always looking for them and I'm the first guinea pig.
