I am a friend when I need to be a friend, a father when I need to be a father, a musician when music calls. I switch roles accordingly.

I love the immediacy of those old analog machines; it's really inspiring. You just set them up to play, and they go, playing the same thing until you switch the pattern.

I started off playing rugby league as well as union. I switched between fly-half and wing, but I preferred to play fly-half. I liked to be at the heart of everything. I liked to be involved.

You know how in every heist movie they get past the security cameras that show the hallway leading to the diamonds by jamming the screens with a fake signal of everything looking safe and quiet? Usually a guard coughs so they don't notice the blip from switching to the bogus feed.

I like switching gears. I'm kind of a chameleon.

Fluid intelligence is not a Big Five personality trait: It's a measurement of one's ability to rapidly learn and apply a rule set. As an entrepreneur, you're rapidly dealing with different issues, and your ability to switch from one issue to another is very important.

Some people say it is relaxing to fish. But not with me. I simply cannot switch off my competitive instincts.

No one seriously believes that unlocking a cellphone to switch carriers is equivalent to piracy.
