I never thought of my father when I was growing up. Truly. He was a strong, silent man who worked hard to support his family.

I never went through a gender identity problem, but I did with my sexuality.

I remember my first review in London said I was the next Peter Brook. I said: 'No way. I'm not Peter Brook. I don't have the maturity, the experience, the intelligence. Don't burden me.'

We should never overestimate an audience's culture, but we should never underestimate their intelligence.

No matter how you feel about social media, you can't deny the giant that is Facebook.

My theme for philanthropy is the same approach I used with technology: to find a need and fill it.

I love black dresses. I think everyone should own a lot, but black dresses don't sell online because on the computer they don't read like anything.

What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.
