There's always a sense that people will do things quite differently if they think they have privacy.

I suspect privacy is a very new concept to humanity.

This has been a learning experience for me. I also thought that privacy was something we were granted in the Constitution. I have learned from this when in fact the word privacy does not appear in the Constitution.

I don't actually believe there's any such thing as privacy.

We need to start seeing privacy as a commons - as some kind of a public good that can get depleted as too many people treat it carelessly or abandon it too eagerly. What is privacy for? This question needs an urgent answer.

I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.

Historically, privacy was almost implicit, because it was hard to find and gather information. But in the digital world, whether it's digital cameras or satellites or just what you click on, we need to have more explicit rules - not just for governments but for private companies.

I think privacy is important, and it's important you don't bore people with your own boring self.

You want your privacy as a human being.

I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.
