In software design, it's all about making a guess, trying it, and then learning from the experience.

I can tell people a story that they believe in and get behind. So I'm good at the leadership part. But I've always said that I'm a terrible manager. I'm not good at giving feedback.

What motivates me is just to do a really, really good job at something. If I were a better musician, I probably would've ended up as one.

You can take a team of absolute all-stars in terms of their native abilities, but if they are not working together, they are much less effective than a team where there is less native ability but a higher degree of teamwork and cohesion.

I was in the movies. I danced, I sang, I learned to work in front of a camera. It was like being in a repertory company.

As a kid, I harbored this fantasy of starting a company. I looked at the entrepreneur column in Forbes. I looked at it every month and thought, 'I want to be that guy.'

People don't do good work when they feel like losers and are second-class citizens within their own company.

I've never been in this business for the recognition or the awards. I just want to do good work, grab a decent paycheck, and move onto the next job.
