We live in a world in which we are able to communicate very quickly in many different ways, and yet we find communicating more difficult than ever. When in fact we need communication more urgently than ever, because the enemies that threaten us are universal: drugs, illiteracy and crime. We have to fight against them together.

For me as a man, philosophically, when you talk about honor and integrity, that’s the way I want to live my life. It moved me.

I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. 'If there's no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.' That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.

When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim.

I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it's a search for how I can do things better, whether it's being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.

I like to work with people that I like hanging out with, that I admire, that are really smart and talented, and we can problem solve together.

I'm usually nervous to meet people that I admire because what if they're not cool or something?
