“I’m never absolutely sure of anything, and I don’t want to be. You’re either right and you’ll pull through, or you’re not. We’re never going to be right about everything, and we’ve certainly been wrong.”

I never thought I was a very good manager.

The American public tunes in every night hoping to see two people screwing. Obviously, we can’t give them that but let’s always keep it in mind.

We need an unambiguous rule – a law – that nobody will step between the publisher and the consumer, full stop.

Facebook’s the real deal. Nobody can buy Facebook now. Everybody has taken an angle at it. But Facebook may be the place that organizes everybody’s personal information. It’s got a very good chance of being that.

I’ve not conducted my life in the service of smallness.

If you have too many epiphanies, you’re on some kind of drug.

We’re in a world now where it’s not enough to be smart. You have to be curious.

I absolutely believe the Internet is passing from its free days into a paid system. Inevitably, I promise you, it will be paid.

Well, the Internet is this miracle. It is an absolutely extraordinary idea that you can press a send button, and you are publishing to the world.

People have paid for content. They always have.

If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film.

I never liked jazz or anything else. Early rock n’ roll – that was music to me. Everything else was boring.

Anything injured, or any unusual creature somebody found, they would always come to our doorstep.

I guess anything in excess is no good for you, even things that are supposed to be healthy.

The Lord has shown me that I can do anything, but that He has said, apart from Me ye can do nothing. So it comes to this, that everything I have done, and can still do apart from Him is nothing!

The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!

I’ve never kept a record of anything.

I learned through the ‘Jack Nicklaus Lesson Tee,’ the cartoon. Back then, it was 1970 or ’69 when it came out. Learned the grip that way and everything in the cartoon… So that’s kind of how it all started for me.
