I have a personal life and a professional life, and there's no way to separate them; for a while I tried, but no one could find me.

Especially if you don't have a job that's providing fulfillment in your technical expertise, there is a lot of reward to working on a very smart and demanding community that will respect you and will give you leadership and authority based on what you do.

We will not build a society that reflects who we are and that has opportunities for equality or justice if we don't make progress for all participants.

Tech, in the sense of... putting things together, that goes back beyond memory for me.

I am that prodigal son who wasted all the portion entrusted to me by my father. But I have not yet fallen at my father's knees. I have not yet begun to put away from me the enticements of my former riotous living.

My family was very musical. My brother is an opera singer; my parents both sang.

Christmas really is about all the cliches: health, happiness and love. A future with my family is the important thing... to stay alive for them.

If there is one thing about my family that I do identify with, it is that everyone is extremely hardworking. Also, the people whom I grew up with all did things they really loved. And I think that's an important lesson.
