Content and technology are strange bed fellows. We are joined together. Sometimes we misunderstand each other. But isn't that after all the definition of marriage?

I was very short. Everybody else was two years older in my class, and I had curly hair and was teacher's pet.

Doesn't anyone here think this sounds like a vision of hell? While we are all competing or dying, when will there be time for sex or music or books? Stop the world, I want to get off.

Frankly, I was surprised at how generous the Japanese press has been to the idea of a foreigner running Sony.

Free is not an alternative. My company did not turn a profit last year.

The hardest thing about being at Sony was not the travel; it was being divorced from the public and private life I had in New York. Travelling as much as I did, while I didn't lose connection with my friends, I lost a sense of belonging.
