You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever. Now, who cares?

Everybody's fast and strong, but to go out there and throw pass-rush moves or be able to do something different on the run to get them off balance. Anybody can run into somebody, but if you can shake them a little bit at the line, that's what's helped me out as a player.
Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back.
The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it.

What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now?
Just being a girl coming from YouTube, I know what it's like to have a very humble, simple beginning. It would be kinda crazy for my fans if I made it huge in that way and became the next big thing. I wanna be able to do it for them and say, 'Look, this is what you've done for me.'
I seem to be able to get along with anybody when I work because I really enjoy being there.
