Zitat des Tages von Paul Allen:
Once you become an owner of a team, you get so much more into the sport and you can't help it. So I really love NFL football now to the degree of following it much more than I did previously.
You look at things you enjoy in your life, but much more important is what you can do to make the world a better place.
The best museums and museum exhibits about science or technology give you the feeling that, hey, this is interesting, but maybe I could do something here, too.
In my own work, I've tried to anticipate what's coming over the horizon, to hasten its arrival, and to apply it to people's lives in a meaningful way.
I am very excited to be supporting one of the world's most visionary efforts to seek basic answers to some of the fundamental question about our universe and what other civilisations may exist elsewhere.
We've had some tough times, but we've hung in there.
While I sign off on trades or free agents, I've rarely overruled my basketball people's decisions. But I'm not shy about steering the discussion or pushing deeper if something doesn't make sense to me.
The possible is constantly being redefined, and I care deeply about helping humanity move forward.
What should exist? To me, that's the most exciting question imaginable. What do we need that we don't have? How can we realize our potential?
I enjoy creating new ideas, working on new creative projects.
As a species, we've always been discoverers and adventurers, and space and the deep ocean are some of the last frontiers.
In the computer industry, you've got an interdisciplinary team of people who can come together, attack the problem, and work in a collaborative style. You knock down one problem after another, cobble things together, and then hopefully turn the crank at some point.
Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.
With documentary-film projects, you hope you highlight an area of concern people haven't thought about before. A lot of times, I'm asking myself - 'This seems to be a significant problem. What can be done that hasn't been done?'
I'm a very private person that prefers a low profile.
