...the collective wisdom of humanity [is] enshrined in its poetry.
One day, I can come up with 50 content ideas, and I'm like, 'Boom, I want to do this idea, this idea, this idea.' I have a YouTube notebook, and I write them all down. Then other days, I'm like, 'I have no clue what I want to do today.' I rarely have days like that.
One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Apple and Google want to create encryption for which they could not provide you the key. Their business model will not survive if the American government has a special relationship with them that requires them to surrender this kind of information.

I always try to find things worth saying, things that are supposed to be said instead of being contrived. I do a ton of writing.
So long as I confine my thoughts to my own ideas divested of words, I do not see how I can be easily mistaken.
That is one thing that is part of Manchester City, which we've taken with us from the olden days. We'll never give up while anything is possible.
I tell people that the history of Mozilla and Firefox is so one of a kind that it should not be used - ever - as an example of what's possible.

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
Some collaborators might join forces in certain cities or special concerts. I'm excited to share the stage with some prestigious people that I love and respect.
