My personal ambition remains the same – to be creative, to be modern, to stay one step ahead, to enjoy life.
It’s just life. You have to be able to get up, face your flaws, and just, whatever it is, a step, an inch, you just got to keep moving forward.

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you. When you occupy it, step into it consciously, you live it.

I am able to follow my own death step by step. Now I move softly towards the end.
I’m living with every step. I can’t live with regret. The past is the past. I’m not worried about it. I can’t change it. I can’t fix it. It is what it is. I’m just living.

I’ve never been like Angelina Jolie, who at one time was spewing out this prototype Bad Girl stuff for people to consume. I’ve never boxed myself in that way. People can create boxes for me by all means, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to step inside them.
The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that it does exist.
The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.

June Jordan, who died of cancer in 2002, was a brilliant, fierce, radical, and frequently furious poet. We were friends for thirty years. Not once in that time did she step back from what was transpiring politically and morally in the world. She spoke up, and led her students, whom she adored, to do the same.
I expect that our associates will walk with a little more bounce in their step and understand that this company is behind them and has respect for them.
And at that point, I think we all realized it was something tremendously tragic, probably a terrorist attack, and the next step was to go down to our command center and get things going.

When you make that choice of stepping out and facing the issue of disclosure, you do create this kind of self-imposed negative fear. It’s unfortunate it still happens today. ‘Do I step out and say I’m a gay guy?’ But you have got to do it and live your life on your terms and no one else’s terms.

The first step in securing our cyber future is education, and that means everything from educating individuals to companies to the next generation of IT professionals.
