I was famous from birth.
The best way to be productive is to have a great team. So I spend more time than most CEOs on human resources. That's 20 percent of my week.
I heavily overinvest in recruiting. I have an understanding with certain search firms that if you find someone great, don't wait until there's a job opening - send him to me.
I used to think business was 50 percent having the right people. Now I think it's 80 percent.
I don't have an office. I sit in a cubicle with everybody else. That's partly so no one can ask for an office, which in a fast-growing company isn't practical. But it's also so I can keep my finger on the pulse of how people are feeling.
There is no one truth. There’s only what happened, based on how you perceive it.
Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.
I have faith in the future of this promised land of America and in its institutions of representative government, but more than that, I have faith in you, the youth of America, to build even more securely on the foundations laid by the faith and devotion of your pioneer fathers.
Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint. Keep painting until you die.
