I've played a lot of games - I started very early, and the first 50 games were just warm-up games.
I was one of the first to read the 'ER' script and the good news is George Clooney still gives me credit for helping to launch his career. I had George Clooney under contract for four years in a row before 'ER' happened. He's one of the few who remembers the people who helped him.
I've always been ahead of the curve when it came to trying new stuff in the underground scene.
I'm one of the people who was a pioneer in encouraging musicians, early in the game, to get interested in technology, and now all the musicians are getting into it.
I was also known as Frodo because I was an early adopter of 'The Lord of the Rings.'
When it comes to consumer electronics, I'm a big fat sucker, because even though I know you should never, ever buy anything until the second version of it is released, I just can't resist. I live in a state of perpetual Beta.
While still in college, I started my first Internet company - American Information Systems - a dial-up Internet provider in the Internet's formative years.
Making you a pioneer only means one thing. You were around at the time.
I believe I was ahead of my time.
A lot of people say that I took the first shot for Bitcoin. The first person to walk through the door always gets shot, and then everyone else can come through.
I'm a firm believer in everything going digital, in a matter of years. I wanted to kind of be one of the pioneers, one of the people that jump on that bandwagon early.
My wife, she was an early-adopter to Trump and a supporter of Trump - earlier than me, by far.
Nobody ever understands what a pioneer is doing.
I started buying on the Internet quite rapidly, as early as 1995.
I think I was the third person in the world to get a Kindle, and I hated it from the minute I got it.
I got involved early on in social media - I created one of the first social networks - and for me, social gaming was a natural evolution of that.
I was one of the first artists to have a YouTube account, if not the first. I joined two months after the site launched.
I've been an Apple guy since the mid 80's and that's when I was like, "Boy, you guys really got me here. I know exactly what you're doing, right down to your price points."
I'm a computer guy, and one of the things I did with the good fortune that 'Presumed Innocent' brought me was to buy one of the very first laptop computers. It weighed about eight and a half pounds, by the way.
I'm just an early adopter; I subscribe to more things than normal people and have a high level of inbound and a high level of noise.
Never be a pioneer. It's the early Christian that gets the fattest lion.
A lot of stuff I do, 10 years later it becomes popular.
In 1991, I co-founded my first start-up, Ink Development, which made software for an early tablet computer.
My father had a big brick cell phone, before anyone had a cell phone, because he was really just into that kind of thing - communication devices. I grew up between my father's laboratory and my mother's library.
A pioneer is generally a man who has outlived his credit or fortune in the cultivated parts.
