One thing I always think about in making a market, and it again is something I have learned from Sam [Palmisano] as well, he always says, "Be first and be lonely."

I learned to always take on things I'd never done before. Growth and comfort do not coexist.

Your value will be not what you know; it will be what you share.

Growth and comfort do not coexist.

To me, I learned along the way, you know, culture is behavior. That's all it is; culture is people's behaviors.

Clients say, 'What's your strategy,' and I say, 'Ask me what I believe first.' That's a far more enduring answer.

You have to stick up for what you believe in. And that, to me, is the biggest thing you can do about driving inclusion.

Big Data will spell the death of customer segmentation and force the marketer to understand each customer as an individual within eighteen months, or risk being left in the dust.

Someone once told me growth and comfort do not coexist. And I think it’s a really good thing to remember.

Don't let others define you. Define yourself.

Never love something so much that you can’t let go of it.

I would never put my close friends or a real relationship on a show.

I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.

When we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise.

Damn, tell me where did all the magic go? I followed the rules and told you everything you had to know

You'd rather make up a fantasy version of somebody in your head than be with a real person.

The courage to charge for what you do comes from charging for what you do.

What we need is a theology of salvation that begins and ends with a recognition of every person's hunger for glory.

I get happier every day. I have a sense of accomplishment every day of my life.

They'd smash up the world if they thought it would make a pretty noise.

I come from very common stock, and I've always been uncomfortable with pretension and all the forms it can take, including disingenuous broadcasting.
