I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

For me the goddess is the female of God, She is powerful if different.

In the USA there is no female equivalent to god.

I don't like to dwell on the past.

I wanted to create a toolkit which I would have wanted as an entrepreneur to use these principles of psychology in product design. Some startups totally forget the trigger. In some, the action is too complicated. Others don't have a variable reward, which maintains mystery.

If I had not passed through trial - through passion, one could say - through these years so painful and so rich, I don't believe I could take on my life and my career as I do today.

The publishers, as I remember at the very beginning of my career, wrote letters with their fountain pens. A letter is different from a phone call or fax. It's a different kind of intimacy. That pervaded the entire business of writing and publishing.

My mission my whole career was just to be somebody that you can look at and say, 'That's the guy I want to go into battle with.'
