Running a real business is exacting, daunting, repetitive work. Even in Silicon Valley.

The America that we knew as the smartest place on the planet is gone with the wind.

Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured… But not everyone must prove they are a citizen.

I think, there are many people who are much smarter than I am, and many, many, many who are much harder-working than I am, but in terms of the range of my activities, they’re unique.

I’m an economist by training. I don’t really work as an economist. I only worked briefly as an economist.

That was horrifying beyond words, and that’s where science – in my opinion, this is just an opinion – that’s where science leads you.

I am scared of getting old. I am scared of being ill.

My friend Quincy Jones says we won our first Grammys together in 1963. I have no recollection. I don’t even remember the room. When he showed me the picture, I remembered what I wore. But it’s like awards don’t mean anything.

I mean you can learn how to build a bullet or build a gun or build a bomb on the Internet.

Reason doesn’t mean very much in a country like North Korea.
