The Church must be all-powerful. You discover these horrors within institutions because predators find ways of hiding in plain sight.

I feel that Julian Assange came to be both paranoid and self-regarding in ways that ultimately undermined his own mission.

Steve Jobs did not start started Apple as a scam. But he understood early on the power of marketing. The idea of the computer as a bicycle for the human mind - I think that was something he believed. He believed in making people comfortable with these machines, which is why he spent so much time thinking about how to design them a certain way, how to make them so user-friendly and interactive, and why he spent so much time studying the Zeitgeist.

If people are portrayed as monsters, we become disconnected from them, and to me that is not remotely interesting.

In the case of the Catholic Church, it's hard to understand how they so willfully sacrifice the children.

It's easy to get armchair analysts to talk, but to get people on the inside to talk is very, very hard.

In many ways, I'm a big admirer still of Julian Assange. He had balls to do what he did and his motivations in terms of holding the powerful to account are tremendously inspiring to me.
