“I won't give up my day job of design.”
“I think basic disease care access and basic access to health care is a human right. If we need a constitutional amendment to put it in the Bill of Rights, then that's what we ought to do. Nobody with a conscience would leave the victim of a shark attack to bleed while we figure out whether or not they could pay for care.

One can hardly blame unsalted meat for going bad. It cannot do anything else. The real question to ask is: Where is the salt?”
“They're trying to make fuel cells a reality. They want to bring the hydrogen economy to the United States.”
“Today they forget you in five years. They give an artist nowadays four or five years and that's it. Some of them don't have that. They get a couple of releases. If you don't sell two million copies, you're gone, you're out of here.”
