Growing up, I always wanted a bedroom of my own.

What matters is hard work, and emotional intelligence.

Everything has a trend to it; I don't care if it's appliances or engines. I always ask, 'What has a company done in the past five years that somebody's noticed?'

You have to build a team, but someone's got to lead, and someone's got to be unpopular at times.

In the field of higher ed, many have asked whether (or when) digital education will replace on-campus education. I wonder the opposite. Cinema never replaced theatre. TV didn't replace radio. I wonder how different digital education will be from classrooms, and where it will lead us.

There's no such thing as the 'Irish Internet.' It's just the Internet.

I think my sound is post-Internet.

I don't use e-mail; I phone and fax. I think people who are hunched over their computer screens all day should get a life.
