Even before I helped to co-found Microsoft, I saw a connected future . . . I called that future The Wired World.

I am very excited to be supporting one of the world's most visionary efforts to seek basic answers to some of the fundamental question about our universe and what other civilisations may exist elsewhere.

I'm a very private person that prefers a low profile.

You look at things you enjoy in your life, but much more important is what you can do to make the world a better place.

Once you become an owner of a team, you get so much more into the sport and you can't help it. So I really love NFL football now to the degree of following it much more than I did previously.

We've had some tough times, but we've hung in there.

That would be such a life-changing thing, for us all to know that there are other beings out there who we could potentially communicate with, or maybe we are listening to a signal that they transmitted hundreds of millennia ago.
