Quote

All I write about is what's happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about.

Of course it's fun writing about an egomaniac, but I know there are going to be reviewers who've never met me, who don't know anything about me, who are going to say this is autobiography: he's just changed the names of a few people, and the rest is totally as it was.

Usually my writing is very over the top and bombastic and very, like, 'I'm amazing! Look at me!'

I write a lot about myself.

I always felt journalists had a very clear idea of what they wanted to write about me before the interview began.

I see something happening in the world, and I want to share it. It's why, during 9/11, I wrote every few minutes what I saw happening. It's why I write about meeting Steve Wozniak or Bill Gates or Larry Page.

Ever since I've become chairman, there have been profiles of me in People, George, The Washington Post, The Detroit News, and all of them could have been written by the same person.

I never sit down to write anything personal unless I know the subject is going to go beyond my own experience and address something larger and more universal.

It's cool to be in the paper every once in awhile and people read about you and they know who you are.

As I have encountered difficult moments in my own life, I have been privileged to learn from the great men I have come to know as a writer.
