Life's a journey. It's a journey about discovering limits.

Building Oracle is like doing math puzzles as a kid.

I have run engineering since day one at Oracle, and I still run engineering. I hold meetings every week with the database team, the middle ware team, the applications team. I run engineering and I will do that until the board throws me out of there.

I'm addicted to winning. The more you win, the more you want to win.

So what makes me happy? I was really happy to build this house. That's it; building things. The trouble with software is that it's very hard to show your aunt in Florida what you've done.

When you live your life in different ways, it makes people around you become uncomfortable. So deal with it. They don't know what you are going to do.
