Сyber-warfare is obviously the future. It’s a real concern, but we lie so much about what we do that it’s hard to know what’s going on unless you really follow it.

I knew that one day I would come to this point that I would make something so outrageous and so ambitious that… it’d be that Don Quixote feeling, that I’d have to tilt at a windmill. Sometimes you’ve got to do it. That’s the only way you can do things.
