«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.

«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!“»

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..

Dating is different when you get older. Youre not as trusting or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone.

To be honest, I was Mum's boy. Always was, always will be.

Quite a few people feel uncomfortable when faced with the claim that the Jews are the world's smartest people. In our politically correct era, one is not expected to argue that one group within humanity has an advantage over all the others.

You see I have to be in the clinic every Thursday and it's in Phoenix so I have to fly down or drive down. It has to be every Thursday for this damn stuff they're giving me.

When I first found out that Superman wasn't real, I was about maybe eight. And I was talking to my mother about it. And she was like, 'No, no, no. There's no Superman.' And I started crying. I really thought he was coming to rescue us. The chaos, the violence, the danger. No hero was coming.

I do wear weaves and I do wear wigs.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.

We've got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It's bizarre, and they're writing some very funny stuff.

Southerners have never been afraid of seasoning. It's kind of the other way around; our seasoning is afraid of us.

I've stopped taking myself seriously because now I understand how fickle my thoughts are.

Where I grew up, people obviously knew my dad because it's a small place and he was the top player for Swinton - they'd go and watch him play, see him in the papers, so they knew he was black.

My method is to find a word with a gesture.

Obviously any band, any group, someday is not going to be together anymore. That's the truth.

I'm not particularly fond of the hybrid writer-director or actor-director.

Isn't television glamourous?

Pain is temporary. The pain you feel today is only to get strength to face tomorrow.

I've come to the conclusion that mythology is really a form of archaeological psychology. Mythology gives you a sense of what a people believes, what they fear.

I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves. That's what I always try to do.

I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.

A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.

Once you realize just the sort of glut of books that exists out there, it does become incumbent on you not to add to it unless you have a damn good reason.

I don't care what TV show you work on, even a movie for that matter, it's all about time and money eventually.
