That's really why I want to go to space - I want to be weightless for so long that it gets boring.

I've seen disgusting excess in business, and I've seen disgusting excess in Washington. But at the same time, I've certainly learned that Washington matters and that you can't ignore it, especially when you get into telecom.

Oh, that all the things my father had told me about how disgusting Washington is are true. And again it's the system - there are lots of nice, well-meaning people there. But it's a sleazy place. And politics is all about doing favors.

I have a short attention span. I couldn't stay doing the same thing for 30 years.

From the business point of view - not to overstate it - intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.
