The thing that gave me the most pain in life, psychologically, and it gave me tremendous pain psychologically, is man's disrespect for nature.
The most influential thinker, in my life, has been the psychologist Richard Nisbett. He basically gave me my view of the world.
People are very complex. And for a psychologist, you get fascinated by the complexity of human beings, and that is what I have lived with, you know, in my career all of my life, is the complexity of human beings.
Everybody wants a robot that will do psychotherapy. But If you don't have empathy, you don't have psychotherapy. The robot doesn't know about life.
I have two ambitions in life: one is to drink every pub dry, the other is to sleep with every woman on earth.
I think I went through puberty really late in life or something. I always looked like a little, sad Thai boy up until I was 26.
I have never run a public company. I spent my entire life working for a private company.
Life at a public company ain't for me. The board pays you what you're worth, then you get reamed for your compensation.
The more of your private life you put into the public domain, the smaller your private life becomes.
I don't want my personal life to become a part of public domain. It is something that is sacred and means a lot to me. I don't want it to become some frivolous gossip column.
Once you thrust yourself out there in the public domain, it's really hard to retreat, to say no or reclaim that certain part of your life as private.
I do watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' with my children at Christmas, and I liked it long before it went into the public domain and became a cliche.
I'm young: I've lived my life in the public eye, and I've had to figure out how to do that.
Living your life in the public eye is a greater burden than most people can imagine.
We live in the public eye, so if one of us makes a mistake, it affects everyone, which makes me think about what I'm doing in life more.
I cannot turn my life back around. I'm already a public figure, I'm famous... It's like, I might as well keep it going, might as well make the money.
I never aimed to be on television or in the press. We all have a personal life, and being a public figure disrupts that.
I owe 90 per cent of my life to people because I am a public figure, but 10 per cent is private to me. And I am not saying it in a defensive way. I feel my life has been made into a TV serial.
There are a lot of public figures who, before they take a stand on a issue, they talk about it with their publicist and they figure out how it's going to affect record sales. Life is really too short to worry about that sort of thing.
More often than not, whenever gossip has been written about me, the gossip is more interesting than the reality. I know some public figures hate gossip, but personally I like it because it makes my life sound more glamorous and interesting than it really is.
