• In an age where everything and everyone is linked through networks of glass and air, no one - no business, organization, government agency, country - is an island.

• It is a governing principle of nature, that the agency which can produce most good, when perverted from its proper aim, is most productive of evil.

• I don't even think about the money when I consider roles, I turn it over to my agency. Money will come. I respect it but I don't thirst for it.

Really the most valued commodity is time.
