My entire career has been built on the understanding that I am not only not the smartest person in the room, I am definitely not the smartest person in the world. And I am instead going to try to create as many opportunities to connect those great ideas and help them be great.

I've been learning how to soft-scramble eggs. And once you've had an amazing soft-scrambled egg, you cannot go back. It takes a little bit more work, but they're really great.

I hate phone calls, so I believe in a telephone armistice. To me, the idea of calling someone unprompted is basically saying, 'Hey, stop whatever you're doing and talk to me right now.' If you find yourself in the middle of something, getting an unprompted annoyance is incredibly frustrating.

Let's all strive to be more entrepreneurial, and I think we'll all be in a better place.

I realized I could work for a manufacturer or a hospital, or I could work for a company that enables the manufacturer, the hospital, and everything else.

I could probably say one thing that I'm excited about is I definitely wanna be an entrepreneur and be a humanitarian and that stuff.

After I got back my career and my artistic freedom in 1982, my golden rule is the music must never suffer.

Los Angeles and New York are the big centers of the music industry worldwide so of course it can be hard for newcomers who don't know what to expect from the music business.
