I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here?

That's why I do this music business thing it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up.

In day-to-day commerce television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust we are all worse off for it.

My stay-married secret would probably be exercising good communication not when you have to but all the time. I think if you do that you kinda just cleanse the situations so there's not build up. I think that's probably the best way to do it.

My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.

So as I look at transitioning to the communication platforms of the future I see that the beauty of Internet protocols is you get the separation of the layers between service and technology.
