I believe people think as a group more often than we might realize or care to admit. We like to believe that we act as individuals and nothing more, but time and again - in corporations and business, in politics and religion, in fashion and culture, and in friendships and social circles - we think and do as one.

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.

When people ask me exactly how much time I spend in each country, I always tell them I have no idea.

I've never really spent a lot of time thinking about my individual accomplishments actually.

One of my problems, so to speak, is that, in America, we tend to think in relatively short-term. In the Middle East and Asia and other parts of the world, they think in terms of centuries or 500 years or 1,000 years.

I always believe in myself, no matter what my ranking.

I'm not a fast thinker, but once I am interested in something, I am doing it for many years.

Americans seem sometimes to believe that if you are a thinker you must be a frowning bore, because thinking is so damn serious.

There were times when I had maybe a couple of hundred dollars, and times I made myself think I was on top of the world.

Only allow yourself to think negative thoughts and/or complain about anything for three minutes, three times a day.
