All the libel lawyers will tell you there's no libel any more, that everyone's given up.

You have a huge amount of confidence when you're younger, which slowly ebbs away for the rest of your life. You think: 'No problem. I can do that. Why shouldn't I do it?'

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Good intentions often get muddled with very complex execution. The last time the government tried to make taxes easier, it created a 1040 EZ form with a 52-page help booklet.

In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to move.
