"What does purpose mean? It means the deepest desire for our short lives to mean something. . . . To speak a language of purpose is to return to first principles and to be able to answer, in plain English, the plain questions of Why? Why should we chip in to help someone else? Why should we defer gratification? Why should we care about the long term? Why should we trust anyone who seems to be limiting our ability to do what we want?"

“I always feel that it's weird that anyone else is watching one of my shows on any other TV than my own. It just seems bizarre that somehow it's being broadcast all over the world.
