Second we're spending a huge amount of money on technology so that everyone can check out laptops and portable phones. We're spending more money to write our existing information into databases or onto CD-ROM.

Most people are really stunned to find out that the technology has been around for more than 100 years and that the diesel engine was in fact invented to run on vegetable oil.

The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.

I have never come across a technology that doesn't change. This is inevitable. You have to adapt your systems as technology develops.

The dissemination of advanced implantable technology will likely be just as ruthlessly democratic as the ailments it is destined to treat. Meaning that someday soon we may have a new class of very smart very fast people - yesterday's disabled and elderly.

Aereo is the first potentially transformative technology that has the chance to give people access to broadcast television delivered over the Internet to any device large or small they desire. No wires no new boxes or remotes portable everywhere there's an Internet connection in the world - truly a revolutionary product.

I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.

I think it is inevitable that people program poorly. Training will not substantially help matters. We have to learn to live with it.

It may not always be profitable at first for businesses to be online but it is certainly going to be unprofitable not to be online.

My ambition was to stop waiting tables. That was how I measured success: finally I was able to stop waiting tables and I was able to pay the rent and that was by being a stand-up comic. Not a very good stand-up comic but good enough to make a living.

Winning in Afghanistan is having a country that is stable enough to ensure that there is no safe haven for Al Qaida or for a militant Taliban that welcomes Al Qaida. That's really the measure of success for the United States.

You can never be comfortable with your success you've got to be paranoid you're going to lose it.

I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. And that is about as good as it gets really.

Not every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort.

On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff talking about the film explaining your own life it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength.

My workouts include aerobic exercise for a healthy cardiovascular system strength training to maintain muscle tone and bone density core strength exercise for a stable mid-section and stretching to maintain mobility.

Nothing symbolizes American strength and vigor more than another unaccountable Washington bureaucrat.
