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.

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 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.

The optimist sees the glass as half full, the pessimist as half empty. What I see is water that can save someone's life.

This girl who's slept a hundred years has something after all. It's called Centuryitis, and it has turned me into a man. Oh, what will mamma think when she sees me?!-Karen Quan and Jarod Kintz

Men go where they will, they do as they must; it is not a woman's part to bid them to stay, nor yet to reproach them for being what they are-or for not coming back.

But I do think that when people say 'a learning curve,' they make a mistake. Learning to me always seems to go in a straight, ignorant line and then, every so often, takes a jump straight upward.

C has all the expressive power of two dixie cups and a string.

I can't start writing until I have a closing line.

I'm too tall to be a girl, I never had enough dresses to be a lady, I wouldn't call myself a woman. I'd say I'm somewhere between a chick and a broad.

I am learning how to be angry and sad and lonely and joyful and excited and afraid and happy.

I think I'm a prudent filmmaker.

Effort is the key, but direction and loyalty are paramount.
