I feel lucky because earlier in my career, I found what I liked to do; it's build software that you see your friends using on the street, and they like it.

I managed Hewlett Packard through the worst technology downturn in 25 years, the dotcom bust.

I designed and developed an unbelievable number of applications early in my life.

I was lucky to have a successful career as a model, but that was just a way to pay off my college loans.

I get hired by companies to hack into their systems and break into their physical facilities to find security holes. Our success rate is 100%; we've always found a hole.

The labs were happy that I was brave enough to attempt to program it and the $5 million computer was left entirely to my use. I was their human guinea pig.

I won't be satisfied until I've put the entire security industry out of work.

My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.

I got lucky because my dad moved us to Silicon Valley before it really was known worldwide as an important tech hub.

I characterize myself as a retired hacker. I'm applying what I know to improve security at companies.
