Digital technology is both arousing and distancing. We don't look at the users on the other side as people. They aren't - they're just usernames, Facebook photos and Twitter handles.

No one is immune from addiction; it afflicts people of all ages, races, classes, and professions.

Drug abuse is a medical disease that requires medical professionals.

It's an addiction... and addiction is something I should know something about.

There's the person that's the addict, and then there's the person that's who you are.

Addiction isn't about substance - you aren't addicted to the substance, you are addicted to the alteration of mood that the substance brings.

I think most people will tell you that. They can go along and, while they're denying that they are addicted, say it's stress this, it's this, it's that. But I - it's - I think - I really believe there is a gene. Some people become addicted and others don't.

Managerial and professional people hadn't really used computers, hadn't sat down at keyboards, until personal computers. Personal computers have a totally different feel.

I think we need to educate our doctors about addiction.
