Sometimes an interviewer will look at me and say, 'You're bright!' They're actually surprised I might be bright.

I hire people brighter than me and then I get out of their way.

When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.

I don't see the point of doing an interview unless you're going to share the things you learn in life and the mistakes you make. So to admit that I'm extremely human and have done some dark things I don't think makes me unusual or unusually dark. I think it actually is the right thing to do, and I'd like to think it's the nice thing to do.

Fortunately, I've done so many interviews that I've become very good at detecting when someone is giving a less-than-candid reply.

That's quite a difficult thing in life, to be who you are. And when you are doing interviews, you kind of feel this need to say something interesting.

I've spent a lot of my life among people brighter than myself.

When you do an interview with me, you're talking to a cheap imitation of the person that I really am. There's no magic in my words, it's just me talking.

I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.

If people want to really know what's up with me then they can read one of my interviews.
