I loved writing for kids, I loved talking to children about what I’d written, I don’t want to leave that behind.
J. K. RowlingThe design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it.

Ray BradburyFor me, it’s about becoming a mogul, owning my own projects, and establishing myself as a funding producer. That’s what’s big to me.

Pope FrancisI always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.
EminemWe have a very open culture at the company, where we foster a lot of interaction between not just me and people but between everyone else. It’s an open floor plan.

Mark ZuckerbergI don’t profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
