I'm beginning to feel that the real endangered species on planet earth are not the whales and the elephants but those of us who can laugh at the world and ourselves. ... I fear the dry turn of the American mind, this focus on the literal, as much as I fear our capacity for self-destruction. We've become hagridden by facts, obsessed with product instead of process.

It has become fashionable to know and unfashionable to feel, and you can't really laugh if you can't feel.

I started out as a lawyer and came in laterally to Goldman Sachs. So I learned myself that life is unpredictable.

I've seen kids turn their lives around. It's usually a kid who's outside of the team-sport world, or maybe has a darker personality or doesn't fit in.
