When I'm not supposed to do something, it becomes more attractive to me.

People dont want to talk about death, just like they dont want to talk about computer security. Maybe I should have named my workstation Fear. People are so motivated by fear.

I was interested in implements of mass destruction - from an academic point of view.

If security were all that mattered, computers would never be turned on, let alone hooked into a network with literally millions of potential intruders.

Napster was predicating its business model on violation of copyright.

The whole idea that what is not normal should be kept secret - that's really distasteful to me.

What is right, what is wrong, how can anyone say? I view very, very, few things as Right with a capital R.

I can write a program that lets you break the copy protection on a music file. But I can't write a program that solders new connections onto a chip for you.

Marriage is not a noun it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.

Compassion is something really worthwhile. It is not just a religious or spiritual subject, not a matter of ideology. It is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

My songs are like Bic razors. For fun, for modern consumption. You listen to it, like it, discard it, then on to the next. Disposable pop.

My sister, my mother and I are great friends. We have always valued our immediate family immensely, something we learned from my father.

I'm all for stage diving, but just don't step on my pedals

The Church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you.
