I think I am very goal oriented. I'd like to win the America's cup. I'd like Oracle to be the No 1 software company in the world. I still think it is possible to beat Microsoft.

Microsoft is already the most powerful company on earth but you ain't seen nothing yet.

I have hobbies. I do all sorts of ridiculous things.

When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts.

Act confident, even when you're not.

Oracle's got 100+ enterprise applications live in the #cloud; today, SAP's got nothin' but SuccessFactors until 2020.

See things in the present, even if they are in the future.
