“I don't see Larry as conventionally resilient.
I see him as a driving force.
Larry gets what he wants and when he focuses on something, he gets it.
Larry had his foot to the floor at 150 miles per hour trying to leave all of his competitors behind.
He knew that eventually he would shoot the car over the cliff, but it was like in a James Bond movie, the car makes it across the cliff on the other side, even though it's broken into 10,000 pieces.
I liked the fact that it was risky. The bigger the apparent risk, the fewer people will try to go there. I have always been more motivated by fear of failure than greed. I hate to lose. Silicon Valley is a killing field. Very few technology companies survive. We did.”
