In a free society, you get what you celebrate.

I don't want to think about how many people have thought or still think that I'm crazy.

Some broad themes brought me where I am today. At a very young age, my hobby became thinking and finding connections.

Sometimes we crash and burn. It's better to do it in private.

To me, innovations are the wheel, fire, language, movable type. There are not 3 million innovations; there are 3 million inventions

My biggest failure is I have too many to talk about.

I think our society is no longer properly valuing the intangible potential of innovation, even if we have to be a little uncomfortable with the risks associated with it, and a little bit willing to fail, pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off and try again. We don’t seem to want to do that as much as we used too.
