I think what people confuse is saying anything you think and it not being informed with candor. If you're ill-informed and you say something, you're just an idiot, like welcome to President Trump, right? He just says things that are stupid or lies or whatever.

The virus doesn't care. It doesn't care that you want to see a movie. The virus just keeps on going. It doesn't care how you feel about this thing. It doesn't care that you're impatient ... It just wants to keep going, and it will keep going ... It will get you if it wants to and if you put yourself in harm's way.

You may have a different reaction to the virus than other people. You may do okay; you may not. But you certainly will put other people at risk if you're not careful, and I think if that [doesn't] stop you cold, then I don't know who you are as a person. If you're not worried about your parents, if you're not worried about people who have immune deficiencies, if you're not worried about those who have cancer, there's something wrong with you ... You should seek seek religious or psychological help.

I think if people are very clear about what they want, what they need, what they think... I don't see any plus in doing anything but that at work—and I've never seen a downside to it. The people who hold it against me for telling the informed truth, which is informed by experience or reporting or whatever, well, they can go stick it. I don't really care.

These phones are actually addictive. I know television is addictive but you're a six-foot distance from it. In this case, a phone is right next to you, it's constantly pinging you, and it's got all the elements of a slot machine... all the elements of gambling or drug use.

I've always thought the way we get to a solution with anything is with a diversity of opinion, a diversity of effort, and a diversity of small companies being on a plane where they can compete with larger companies. This idea that we need these giant tech companies that control everything is a real problem for innovation.

If we did a fantasy draft of things that we should just eliminate and the world would be better, I think Twitter might be my number one choice

I used have this thing when I started off in reporting... I would always ask myself, 'What are people lying to me about?' That was always my criteria. And then I realized quickly the right question to ask was, 'What are people lying to themselves about?'

When something goes wrong in an autonomous vehicle, a million other cars learn that mistake. When something goes wrong with me in a car accident, I learn... and maybe not. I might do it six times again.

I think Facebook has turned into a place for people 40 and over

Arguing whether immigration is good is astonishing... Of course it is.

Nobody's going to own a car someday

We're at the lowest point of startup startup creation in a long, long time... I think 30 years now

There's no beating a virus if you don't have a vaccine against it.

Disney's the most powerful content company probably of all time now... It's not Netflix vs. everybody, it's Disney vs. everybody.

The signs of an innovative society are tolerance, openness, and immigration... Every society that's been innovated over the course of history all have the same hallmarks of how they got that way.

What happens in tech a lot is some people try things and then it doesn't work in one place and then it suddenly work somewhere else

I really hate Facebook. I really do. I think they're just full of shit.

I think smart people like smart conversations. I think they're bored in their minds about the talking points.
