A university is supposed to be a place where all ideas are discussed.

There's no better place to do a longform project than HBO. I loved the creative teams I got a chance to work with.

I do believe in teamwork, and I think it's very important, especially for a woman, because if you don't have a good team, then you cannot step out if you need to.

I studied philosophy, religious studies, and English. My training was writing four full-length novels and hiring an editor to tear them apart. I had enough money to do that, and then rewriting and rewriting and rewriting.

Since I was little, I've watched Roger play on TV. To me, he plays almost perfect tennis. His technique is perfect. I also like him at the human level; he's a very good person on and off the court.

Apple has always leveraged technologies that the PC industry has driven to critical mass - the bus structures, the graphics cards, the peripherals, the connection networks, things like that - so they're kind of in the PC ecosystem and kind of not.

You get guys around a campfire, and they start telling their stories. That's the fellowship that they want to be in.

I'm not averse to telling people off.

When your buddy tells you a movie is good, that's worth 2,000 commercials.

Life's way too valuable to hang with people who don't get you. Who you just don't vibe with. Who have different values and lower standards than you do. Who have different Mindsets, Heartsets, Healthsets and Soulsets. It's a little miracle how powerfully and profoundly our influences and environments shape our productivity as well as our impact.

Our minds are shaped by the books we read. Our characters, by the people we meet. Our spirits by the love we give.

When spider webs unite, they tie up a lion.' When you liberate your willpower, you become the master of your personal world.
