But what we all have to learn is that we can't do everything ourselves.

In the earliest days, this was a project I worked on with great passion because I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology.

We had no idea that this would turn into a global and public infrastructure.

Movie distribution may very well have migrated fully to digital form by then, making a huge dent in the need to print film and physically distribute content.

Yet in all those cases I finally steeled myself to seize the opportunity, and find a way to muddle through and eventually conclude that I had, in fact, chosen the right path, as risky as it seemed at the time.

I'm projecting somewhere between 100 million and 200 million computers on the Net by the end of December 2000, and about 300 million users by that same time.

We live in a very complex world.

There's an old maxim that says, 'Things that work persist,' which is why there's still Cobol floating around.

At some point, you can't lift this boulder with just your own strength. And if you find that you need to move bigger and bigger boulders up hills, you will need more and more help.

We never, ever in the history of mankind have had access to so much information so quickly and so easily.

What is special about VOIP is that it's just another thing you can do on the Internet, whereas it is the only thing - or nearly the only thing with the exception of the dial-up modem and fax - that you can do on the public switched telephone network.

Their Internet usage is growing very rapidly, and even they can do the math: If everyone in China needed an IPv4 address - just one - this country would use up one third of the entire public IP address space.

But what we all have to learn is that we can't do everything ourselves.

First of all, in terms of investment in Internet-related developments, venture capitalists - once burned - are now very cautious and are investing in areas that actually make business sense.

The Internet lives where anyone can access it.

In the larger companies, you have this tendency to get top-down direction.

So, for me, working with larger companies has often been very satisfying, precisely because of the ability of bringing critical mass to bear on a given effort.

In a small company, you often see a lot more of what goes on in a broader range of things. And that's good.

There has been a substitution of ideology for fact and scientific and engineering data in this administration.

There was something amazingly enticing about programming.

Today we have 1 billion users on the Net. By 2010 we will have maybe 2 billion.

The computer would do anything you programmed it to do.

The purpose behind terrorism is to instill fear in people - the fear that electrical power, for instance, will be taken away or the transportation system will be taken down.

I was very nervous about going up to teach at Stanford and very nervous even about going to ARPA.

There's a tremendous amount of energy in Japan and, increasingly, in China.

I expect to see a lot of household appliances on the Net by 2010, as well as autos and other mobile devices.

Yet we still see continuous reports of bugs.

Although I've had several major career changes, I was extremely hesitant about making some of them.

There is an underlying, fundamental reliance on the Internet, which continues to grow in the number of users, country penetration and both fixed and wireless broadband access.

We will have more Internet, larger numbers of users, more mobile access, more speed, more things online and more appliances we can control over the Internet.

My reaction to a lot of the current situation that we're in is based in part on a serious concern that the present administration's course ignores reality.

The hackers dont want to destroy the network. They want to keep it running so they can keep making money from it.

Fantasy sports went a long way toward developing the sabermetrics formulas used not only by oddsmakers but general managers in hiring players. So the amateur fantasists ended up creating some of the algorithms that Oakland GM Billy Bean's statisticians used to win games with less salary money available for star players.

South India has beautiful villages.

While it is quite reasonable for scientists to be skeptical of new ideas that do not fit within the accepted realm of scientific knowledge, the best science often emerges from situations where results carefully obtained do not fit within the accepted paradigms.

When I planned my wedding the first time, my ex-husband and I, we were both struggling comics. I had a TV show that had gotten cancelled. Basically, I rented a wedding gown; the reception hall smelled like feet.

What you believe, what you value, how you live, matters.

I think you can be terribly overexposed. I've been always very careful in my career to do theatre; it takes you out of the television eye, and people are glad to see you back again.

Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so.

Further, the next generation of terrorists will grow up in a digital world, with ever more powerful and easy-to-use hacking tools at their disposal.

It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterwards.

You have got to decide, look, this is who I am; this is my best way to present myself, and I'm going to ride that horse to the finish line. Not everybody will like it, but that's OK.

So I have probably 1,200 little bits of paper with notes, which when the Ambien really starts to kick in, don't really make much sense. Say what you like about prescription drugs, but they do help when you're sequencing a record.

I got Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie and he also plays now with Hank Williams Jr.

I simply loved education. I mean, I always loved acting as well. It really was a major passion for me, but one I felt I could only fully explore once I'd completed my degree.

If life didn’t give you at least one person not wanting you to succeed then half of us would lose are motivation to climb that cliff, in order to prove them wrong.

I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can't physically entertain any longer. It's what I was born to do, and I love this profession.

Strip malls are history.

For me the most attractive thing in a man is the ability to make me laugh.
