There's fear or faith. If you're living by fear, then you're always looking for security. If you're living by faith, then you're always looking for freedom.

It's been a long comeback. Things were pretty dark for me. But I have a faith now, and it saves my day. I was angry with God for a long time because I was unhappy with me. I hadn't learned to make the distinction between God and my parents. But there's a peace now. In the end, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure.

Defeating fear is not a light switch. For most of us, it's daily work.

Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.

Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.

The problem with Google is you have 360 degrees of omnidirectional information on a linear basis, but the algorithms for irony and ambiguity are not there. And those are the algorithms of wisdom.

But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.

I am not a famous person at home - I'm just a guy here. I'm a father, I'm a companion, I'm a human being. I am not a public figure in my house; I am not a celebrity. I am not a famous person to myself - I am just a guy.

The thing is, I don't believe in most of what's done. The amount of financial and imaginative energy that's put into mediocrity is just amazing which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being.

Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.

Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.
