Certainly there are bubble-like valuations of certain companies, but I don't think anyone out there believes that we're going to go back to doing business the way we used to do business.

Consumers no longer want only a great product - they want to buy products from companies that align with their own character and values.

You can hype a questionable product for a little while, but you'll never build an enduring business.

People always worry that buying tech products today carries a risk of obsolescence. Most of the time, that fear is overblown.

If we're building high quality companies, if the customers like the products, if the technology innovation is real, then the substance is going to win out in the end.

First of all, at any company, the investment in research and development in the products is the lifeblood, so that is a critical element of anyone's future going forward.

When I see people laughing at ideas and companies we have backed, I smile. It means we are going to make a lot of money on that investment.

There's a number of companies clearly that we wish we had invested in either at the early or at the moderate stage.

Even though people are under economic pressure, they still want to support those brands with values that are compatible with their own.
