Filling a need that others aren't addressing has always been a focus of the companies that I have been involved with.

Changes occur because there’s a gap between what is and what should be.

I don't give investment advice.

The past is past and I guess if you live in the past, you cease to live.

I don't look at paying $8 billion for the directories business of Qwest as the thing that would really excite me... I'm looking at a connection to the human being where it's interesting.

I think the way I look at things gives me a different perspective. I'm most valuable when I work with a team of bright people who complement my weaknesses with their strengths.

I'm very proud of my sisters and everything they've accomplished and done. I'm very proud of where I came from.

I'm not completely against khakis. It's just the level that you have to wear them. The higher you pull them, then more excruciating it is.

I've been around since I was 19, I won the Oscar when I was 21, I've had a couple of TV series. I've continued to work despite the predictions of some naysayers.

Not that I had any special reason for hating school. Strange as it may seem to my readers, I was not unpopular there. I was a modest, good-humoured boy. It is Oxford that has made me insufferable.

Do what you love and success will follow. Passion is the fuel behind a successful career.

What intrigues us as a problem, and what will satisfy us as a solution, will depend upon the line we draw between what is already clear and what needs to be clarified.

I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

And trying to break it down this way, to minor and major offenses, maybes and what-ifs, was like arguing over the origin of cracks in a broken egg. It was done. How it happened didn't matter anymore.

Humility is always one play away.

At the end of the day, I'm a human being and I just think that's what it is. Challenging stereotypes by just being who I am.
