• How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don't think it's so hard, but that's my opinion, and I've written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn't look for a magic bullet. You mustn't look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use.

• I'm just very, very slow. I would not make it as a journalist, I've got to tell you. I sweat bullets over every sentence, and sometimes, you know, a day will pass and I've written one paragraph, and I've been at the computer for four hours.

• It is not understood that before life an individual decides to
  live. A self is not simply the accidental personification of the
  body's biological mechanism. Each person born desires to be born.
  He dies when that desire no longer operates. No epidemic or illness
  or natural disaster - or stray bullet from a murderer's gun - will
  kill a person who does not want to die.
