"One of my favorite documentaries of all time that I literally watch once a year is Hearts of Darkness. It's the making of Apocalypse Now. You want to talk about fear? Every time I'm like, 'Oh, I'm doing too much,' I watch Francis Ford Coppola... he mortgaged his house twice. So I'm not really taking much risk by doing a vineyard here compared to that."

"There's this book called Market Wizards. It's one of the rare trading books that's great. Now everything in it's out of date in terms of the process of the floor traders, but what's not out of date with the Market Wizards book is the mentality of the people that he profiles in there and interviews is great."

"Stop everything. Really? Are you kidding? ... So the great thing about Stop Making Sense, that concert, was that David Byrne walks out. No one else is on stage. He has a boom box... and then the stage builds... as the world around him gets bigger, he gets literally smaller by stagecraft. It's brilliant."

"He sent me a book he wrote called Finding Real Magic. He went to India, and I read it after... unbelievable book."
