«Однажды я вернулся с чеком на 900 долларов, – вспоминает Мор. – Я вошел в офис и спросил ребят, что мне делать с этими деньгами. Илон перестал колотить по клавиатуре, высунулся из-за монитора и сказал: „Не может быть!“»

«Я ни с кем больше не дерусь, но с Илоном мы никогда не можем кончить дело миром», – говорит Кимбал. Как-то в ходе особенно яростной стычки по поводу одного бизнес-решения Маск содрал кожу на кулаке, так что ему пришлось делать прививку от столб- няка.

Маск и его брат надеялись убедить рестораны, магазины одежды, парикмахерские и т. п., что пришло время обозначить их при- сутствие в Сети. Zip2 должен был стать онлайновым бизнес-каталогом, связанным с картой. Маск объяснял: каждый имеет право знать о том, где расположена ближайшая пиццерия и как туда добраться.

Я думаю, что люди сегодня как-то уж слишком увлеклись всяким там Интернетом, финансами и правом. Это одна из причин, почему у нас мало инноваций.

"Илон – не из тех, кто скажет: „Я знаю, что вы чувствуете, я понимаю вашу точку зрения“, – говорит Джастин. – В нем этого нет. Он не понимает, что есть вещи, очевидные другим людям, но не очевидные ему"

Лучшие умы моего поколения заняты тем, как заставить людей кликать мышью по рекламным объявления,- сказал мне Джефф Хаммербахер, ранее инженер Facebook.- Ужас..

Peter remained very quiet and shy, but when he spoke it made sense.

I'm not afraid to say I'm at war with the pigs.

I haven't heard of any cases of anti-American blog posts being censored or bloggers encountering consequences for anti-American speech on the web in China.

I played Big Band jazz music. I wasn't into rock and roll. I was just there because it was a living. I surprised everyone. I'm still surprising people.

Developmental readings are actually the best part of being an actor for me. I once spent a month doing so many developmental readings at the Roundabout that we all joked that I was an 'artist in residence' there. But to me, it's such a special time to be involved with a new play.

I never have suspected or sensed a whiff of cheating in any of our Super Bowls.

America's Facebook generation shows a submission to standardization that I haven't seen before. The American adventure has always been about people forgetting their former selves - Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac went on the road. If they had a Facebook page, they wouldn't have been able to forget their former selves.

The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense.

The issues that matter to me are the social safety nets for people, health care, middle-class concerns. We need to take care of the middle class and the poor in our country.

Our army is composed of the scum of the earth - the mere scum of the earth.

Yeah, now we publish whenever we feel like it.

Just because you're passionately interested in something doesn't mean it has to be your career. You might have to look for more than one passion. Some passions may afford a career and some may not.

We went out for six weeks a year. We first started in Mexico and we did that for so many years that we finally said we've got to explore and start going globally. And then we started going all over the world.

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.

There are some great human beings out there. That's all I can say.

I keep living life as it's dealt to me. Sometimes, it's not dealt 100 percent. Sometimes it's dealt on the low '30s.

I think everything depends on money.

Maxi dresses are also my best friend. They take me from my morning coffee, to the beach, to nighttime.

Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation.

I always felt really alone because no one wanted to talk about the things that I enjoyed, and that was really rap music and hip-hop as a culture. You know, having the shoes, using the words, buying the magazines, seeing the videos. And I had nobody to share it with, so I feel like I lived a lot online.

It's amazing to be able to work with people right at the top of whatever they do... inspiring photographers and stylists with very interesting visual language. The more I do it, the more I enjoy it.

When I knew nothing, I thought I could do anything.

Reality show? You can't find anything better than boxing because of the trials and errors, the ups and downs, the struggle when you get knocked down to get back up. Use it symbolically and interchangeably for life.

The biggest battles in human history can only ever be seen through the eyes of the bloke on the front line, and that's by definition a very focused view and one that will vary from individual to individual.
