There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.

My biggest worry is I'm running out of time and energy. Thirty years ago I thought 10 years was a really long time.

A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That's how the patent office defines it. That's an invention

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

Most of the time you will fail, but you will also occasionally succeed. Those occasional successes make all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile.

Life is so short. Why waste a single day of it doing something that doesn't matter, that doesn't try to do something big?

I do not want to waste any time. And if you are not working on important things, you are wasting time.

It’s not what you do – it’s what you are becoming.

The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle.

I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.

Inspiration comes from the heart. The letter ‘I’ is the heart of F”I”RST… (F Inspiration R S T).

The avant-garde is now an arrière-garde.

We see with what keenness and zeal the frivolous business of Freemasons is conducted, by persons knit together by the secrecy of their union.

One of the things I've become immune to is people talking about market cap and social media platforms.

One cannot scold or complain at every word. Learn to endure patiently, or else, as I live and breathe, you shall learn it whether you want or not.

Columbus's doom-burdened caravels Slant to the shore, and all their seamen land.

Youth is certain what it rejects before it knows what it will accept.

It took me a lifetime to realizethings don't get lost if they don't have value- you don't miss what you don't care about.

My husband is so cheap. On Christmas Eve, he fires one shot and tells the kids Santa committed suicide.

If you have any opinions at all or if you're even remotely verbal then they're going to call you fiery.

I never trust a fighting man who doesn't smoke or drink.
