My mother was the kind of person who was very much part of her tribe and very much a satellite of her tribe. She was the girl who left her family at the age of 17 and went to Washington.

I'm not a guy who goes into the neighborhood, gets beat up by the bully's gang, and then now I want to join their gang. That's just not me. I wanna fight - let's go! I mean, I'm gonna stand up for myself. That's just the competitive nature of where I come from, the era I grew up in.

Many tech company execs who visit to pitch products take time to peruse the shelves and exclaim upon various devices they owned in younger days.

I think there's something really powerful and refreshing about a woman who is unapologetic.
