The ability to live for five hundred years would be an incredible gift. But I greatly fear it would be a gift only for the wealthy - one that might greatly widen the gap between those with access and those without.

The future that I will not live to see is the one my children will live in. That's my immortality. And I shouldn't try to mortgage theirs for my benefit.

There are people who would love to spend their last ten years, or five years, or whatever it is, on the surface of Mars.

I think that we're living in a time where there are trillion-dollar opportunities that never existed before.

You have to live in the future, not the past.
