My biggest mentor has been the Benchmark partnership. We have six partners and a flat structure, and everyone is paid the exact same paycheck. It's a team model versus an individual model.
-
Bailing on a company is just something you don't do.
-
I always place myself as the archetypal Cure fan. I'm the wrong age, but I still think that if I like anything particularly, our fans will.
-
I'm not vicious really. I consider myself to be kindhearted. I love my mum.
-
We approached Yahoo and Jerry Yang and said that Hadoop is going to continue to be popular, and as it does, more and more of your team is going to get poached by other companies and come under pressure to leave. This way, you can control your own fate and destiny.
-
I still frequent my parents' house. I go there to escape, back to the bedroom that I grew up in. Just to sit there and feel small.
-
I'm a huge fan of 1930s horror - Universal films. I grew up with them and I just absolutely love them.
-
I've only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror.
-
Today everything's a conflict of interest.
-
I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.
-
If I put a value on my music, and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan; it can't work.

I had every intention of 'Bloodflowers' being the last Cure record. I thought it would be fantastic to finish with the best thing we'd ever done, but I wasn't sure we could pull it off.
-
You put on eyeliner, and people start screaming at you. How strange, and how marvellous.
-
I like a bit of eye candy like anyone but to have it solely about the eye candy and have it fall into a category so rigidly as well is wrong.
-
I'll probably die by the time I reach 25. But I'll have lived the way I wanted to.
-
People forget the punk thing was really good for women. It motivated them to pick up a guitar rather than be a chanteuse. It allowed us to be aggressive.
-
It's not really my problem if they think I'm weird.
-
You're only half the man that I am, and I have half the brain that you do.
-
I liked the idea of being a writer and letting somebody else do the graft.
-
We had a death pact, and I have to keep my half of the bargain. Please bury me next to my baby in my leather jacket, jeans and motorcycle boots. Goodbye.
-
We're really quite nice and friendly, but everyone has a beastly side to them, don't they?
-
There are some strong female performers out there. But the industry's pre-occupation with the packaging of how a woman looks has gone completely the other way, back to almost the 60s, early 70s.
-
I wore makeup when I was at school, and I wore makeup when glam started. I started wearing it again when punk started. I've always been drawn to wearing it. It's partly ritualistic, partly theatrical and partly just because I think I look better with it on.

The rise of Twitter defined 2011. Once every 5-7 years, a company emerges that changes not just the technology industry, but the world... after what some viewed as a rocky start, in 2011 Twitter broke through into the elite group of companies that profoundly shape our world.
