Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.

I got to sit down with people who I admired, and have conversations with some of the greatest thinkers and artists and performers. It's a huge privilege for me to be a journalist.

There was never any danger of Business 2.0 ever going under.

And I love writing. I've always loved writing.

The collective energy of everyone is what really made Business 2.0 exciting.

You lie awake at 3 in the morning thinking of story ideas. You're online at 8 a.m. on a Sunday or midnight on a Wednesday. It's a job that you never push aside.

I think Fast Company has a tremendously smart focus and execution.

You can't suppress creativity, you can't suppress innovation.

People who say that the Internet is the bubble are incredibly misguided.

You've just got to focus on excellence and try not to be distracted by the news and the rumors and the absurdities of the stories that were coming out.

You have to remember a lot of business is very cyclical.

It's very rare that publications double their frequency.

I think up until that time a lot of focus on Internet coverage was either sort of the bits and bytes aspect of it, sort of the high-tech aspect of it, and the sociological aspect of it, which is how it was transforming culture.

See, what we were going to do was say, the Internet is this great business strategy tool.

The hardest part of it was really being away from my family - I have two small children. Last year I took over 20 business trips, so being away from them was hard.

Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.

The best rock musicians are the most exciting people in the world.

The stock market can be down, but the stock market is not an indication of where people's spirits and enthusiam are, and where their intellectual energy is.

Business people have been made into these rock stars because they've made a lot of money.

There certainly was a lot of potential in the air for doing a magazine which focused on the way business, in particular, was being transformed by the Internet.

The story of the Internet is this incredibly strong, exciting change.

Business 2.0 was hugely profitable last year, and will be profitable this year.

You have to remember when we were going once a month, we were putting out issues that were 480 pages, and people were complaining that these were too big, I can't get through a 480 page magazine every month.

I think what we should have done is integrate the web site with the magazine much earlier in the process.

The magazine was being started by a company that had no experience in business magazine publishing. It was a little difficult to get people to sort of buy into it and to join the staff, but we did.

Certainly there are bubble-like valuations of certain companies, but I don't think anyone out there believes that we're going to go back to doing business the way we used to do business.

You can't be distracted by the noise of misinformation.

I still believe that the mission of Business 2.0 is very strong, very fundamental, and we're really at the beginning of where they're going to take us.

You know, technology CEOs like to think of themselves as rock 'n roll stars.

I'm a history buff, and right now we're sitting on one of the most dramatic historical shifts that this planet has ever seen and we have a front row seat for it.

People say we were an overnight success. It took us a year to be an overnight success.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.

Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.

I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars.

I thought that I was going to have to pay them to do what I wanted to do, that was how much fun I was having. You're 20 years old and you're hanging out with rock stars and going to fabulous parties, and then you talk about it!

I might have been born in a hovel but I am determined to travel with the wind and the stars.

Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars.

An ass may bray a good while before he shakes the stars down.

A lot of country pubs will receive Michelin stars.

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

We are merely the stars tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them.

It is greater than the stars - that moving procession of human energy; greater than the palpitating earth and the things growing thereon.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.

I suppose young people think football is glamorous - soccer - it's big money and the stars of it, they look good and have a great big house and a huge Ferrari.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
