Storytelling is an extraordinary powerful human skill that all of us are wired for; but its best used in the service of ideas.

In these political times, that's more difficult, you must plant your flag somewhere, and someone will get upset. You have to be able to take that in your stride.

The need to express abstract registers of time and deep space, and something of the life of the body, has never altered. Art is not a luxury, an object of exchange, a profession or a career; it is an intrinsic part of being human.

When you put a prize out there, you legitimise the pursuit of something which is often pretty audacious. Legitimacy also brings about renewed focus and vigour on the problem at hand- it's a little like the context of a 4 minute mile… nobody thought it was possible until it was achieved.

I can't look an African-American parent in the eye for thinking about what they must tell their sons about what can happen to them on the streets of their country.

I used to be skeptical about whether I could live an additional 5 years. Now, I'm convinced that I could live 20 years beyond what I would have done. Drugs on our near horizon will give us easily another 20 years, and the drugs not far behind that, another 100. I've never been more excited about the prospect of human health than I am right now.

The surprising consequence is that amplitudes can interfere with each other. If an event can happen in two different ways, one with a positive amplitude and one with a negative amplitude, the contributions can cancel out, leading to zero probability of the event occurring. Decreasing the number of paths can paradoxically increase the likelihood of an outcome.

Our company has always been guided by our foundational values: innovation, service, quality, and thought. We believe in embodying these values through our actions, rather than merely discussing them.

To use an analogy, when you squeeze toothpaste out of a tube, it's quite hard to get it back in. By the same token, by the time you see inflation, it's too late. The key is inflation expectations.

After working with esteemed leaders across six continents, I've observed that the singular trait they all share is their imperfection. Recognizing and embracing one's imperfections, while acknowledging that you don't have all the answers, is the foundation of great leadership.

The purpose of life is to decipher your own purpose in life. This isn't a contradictory statement; rather, it's a necessary paradox. We exist in order to uncover the reasons for our existence.

The main currency on our campuses has become the management of hurt feelings.
