You're not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers.

Not having a clear goal leads to death by a thousand compromises.

My approach is that you have to earn the respect of people you work with.

Don't lose sight of user delight.

Get five or six of your smartest friends in a room and ask them to rate your idea.

You can manage 50 people through the strength of your personality and lack of sleep. You can touch them all in a week and make sure they're all pointed in the right direction.

The only way people will have the trust to give their all to their job is if they feel like their contribution is recognized and valued.

If you give people really big jobs to the point that they're scared, they have way more fun and they improve their game much faster.

I’ve grown a lot, and I’m learning every week.

I like to bet on people, especially those who have taken risks and failed in some way, because they have more real-world experience. And they’re humble.

We did anything possible just to get revenues so that we could grow and be a real business.

Faith is, believing there is still a star out there to wish on, just for you, tucked away behind dark clouds.

I've never been in love. I've dreamt of it day and night, but my heart is like a fine piano no one can play because the key is lost.

We watched each other in the candlelight and suave music, and because laughter was the only weapon we had, we laughed until the chill of his story faded, and was gone.

Take time as it comes, the wind as it blows, woman as she is.

I can show you that I have played with just about every jazz musician, every African musician, every blues musician. It's not like I'm cashing in on a false concept. This is what I do.

I don't do drugs. I never have taken any drugs. I don't believe in them.

... there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying.

Our children's children will hear a good story.

In fact, I was too dumb to save any of the old comic books or the old artwork. I used to give them away.

I do not weep at the world I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.
