I believe that every human has a finite amount of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

I don't watch television, I think it destroys the art of talking about oneself.

I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body.

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.

The earth is like a spaceship that didn't come with an operating manual.

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed
