I think being a wealthy member of the establishment is the antithesis of cool. Being a countercultural revolutionary is cool. So to the extent that you've made a billion dollars you've probably become uncool.

Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

Technology is like water it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.

The Internet creates as well as destroys. Social networks search advertising and cloud computing are multibillion dollar industries that didn't exist 10 years ago. They are products of the same force that has rendered the Postal Service's core business obsolete.

Death is a billion-dollar business. They can't even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don't you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver's license? It's totally insane.

If I could set a world record it would be that I have 150 business partners all with thriving businesses of their own that started with nothing and I made the difference to make them all billionaires.

Billions are wasted on ineffective philanthropy. Philanthropy is decades behind business in applying rigorous thinking to the use of money.

So we really need jobs now. We have to take jobs away from other countries because other countries are taking our jobs. There is practically not a country that does business with the United States that isn't making - let's call it a very big profit. I mean China is going to make $300 billion on us at least this year.

Gary Ross is amazing. He's just - he always has a billion ideas of what he wants but has a very clear perspective also he just makes it work. He really does. He's trying different things and making everything look amazing.

I'll watch a Pixar movie over and over and over again. I'll be with friends of mine who have kids that want to watch 'Finding Nemo ' and I'm like 'Yeah okay let's watch 'Nemo' again for the seven billionth time! ' because they're amazing movies.
