If I had a dollar for every time someone made fun of me in high school-oh wait, I do!

Our leadership [in Microsoft ] has that - "hey, we are the best in certain ways," and so we get the best people. That any kind of positive dynamic is quite good, so I love what's going on there, it's fun.

I know there's a farmer out there somewhere who never wants a PC and that's fine with me.

I'm certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes.

You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid.

I think given all the different imperatives - getting energy to Africa, security of energy, climate change, that we should be spending half as much as we spend on health, which will get you all the way up to $15 billion - the health people don't like it when things get compared to their number.
