All our projects are like fabulous expeditions. The story of each project is unique. Our projects have no precedent.

The idea that we are going to be able to take our entire society as it currently works and simply change the source of energy and make it sustainable is not actually congruent with reality.

I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.

The truth is, anyone can start projects. The world is full of just-started projects that looked great at the time but were never completed.

Not many people give you a vision of what the future will bring.

We've had great successes, but our future is not about our past success. It's going to be about whether we will invent things that are really going to drive our future.

I think there is a general unrest or curiosity about what a human future is going to be like, and whether the way we're living is even sustainable.

Big ideas, big ambitious projects need to be embedded within culture at a level deeper than the political winds. It needs to be deeper than the economic fluctuations that could turn people against an expensive project because they're on an unemployment line and can't feed their families.

Technology has transformed how we live, learn and work, but not everyone has been able to participate in these developments.

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.
