I knew I wanted to do something at the nexus of what I call global development and technology.

I spend so much time on the screen when I am writing the last thing you want to do is spend more time on the Internet looking at a screen. That's what I hate about all this technology.

We're in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything and that's what's new about television and film these days.

I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15 recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.

Now a lot of what we are doing right now quite frankly is because of what happened on Christmas. Many of the things were kind of in the works. We were already planning for example the purchase and deployment of advanced imaging technology. You call them body scanners. We call them AITs (Advanced Imaging Technologies).

What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction the objects the technology. It really adds up.

I know there are lots of positives in the evolution of technology but I also think it will be responsible for the end of a unique character of a specific kind of geographical culture. The world is getting so small and mass production is getting so big. Everything is in danger of becoming the same.

Technology has changed the way book publishing works as it has changed everything else in the world of media.

If your goal is anything but profitability - if it's to be big or to grow fast or to become a technology leader - you'll hit problems.

In making certain things easier for people technology has actually demotivated people from using their brains. We have all these devices that keep us connected and yet we're more disconnected than ever before. Why is that?

Indiana Jones is very much an old-world kind of hero. He doesn't really have any kind of superpower or rely on any kind of technology to help him out of things.

There was a study done in the early 20th century of all the entrepreneurs who entered the automobile industry around the same time as Henry Ford there were something like 500 automotive companies that got funded had the internal combustion engine had the technology and had the vision. Sixty percent of them folded within a couple of years.

Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do it always ends up being more about technology and sets and flash and dash forgetting the main thing which is interesting people saying interesting important things.

In the face of technology everything becomes a little atavistic.

Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas as much as anything else.

What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.

The most important thing about technology is that it can seamlessly work its way into your routine and your life.

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before and so in a sense it is all about potential.

I'm very into science-fantasy that kind of swordfights and magic and technology thing.

So I think the winners in recession are the people who produce new technology that does things better which people really want.

If you really want to improve technology if you want things to work better and be better you've got to protect the person who spends a lot of effort money and time developing that new technology.

The wonderful thing about Apple technology is just how intuitive it is.

The great thing that guys like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and the Google guys have in common is they treat their technology like it's art and I suppose in the hands of virtuosos like them it is.

I love technology and I don't think it's something that should divide along gender lines.
