Quotes[edit]
- If you come up with a big new idea in our world and everyone says "Hey, that's great, definitely go ahead with that," then you know it's not a big new idea at all. Anything really new brings out all the reasons why it can't possibly work, and why it's crazy to even think about it.

- Exploring is fundamentally human; we've done it for thousands of years. It's an expression of something that's the best in us.
