I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting.

My idea of a good night has always been having a lovely meal and a proper conversation.
Make Things rather than Persons the subjects of conversations.
On the contrary, it's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics . It's the things that nobody knows anything about that we can discuss.

I don't keep a list of people I want to talk to. It's organic. But I'd like to interview Tom Brady. Someday I'd love to meet Vladimir Putin. I'd ask him how he sees the landscape of the world, what could make it better, how that could be done.

If I'm on a date, I don't want to talk business right away. Let it feel like a date. I don't want to talk about my job right then.
I like normal girls. When I come home, I don't want to discuss films; I want to discuss what her world is like and other things.
I like that in country, you can talk about what you want to talk about. You can entertain, yet you can have a spiritual side to you, also an emotional side.
