I have to have people around who are of a certain strain of humour. I can't deal with people who have no humour.
Never marry anyone you could not sit next to during a three-day bus trip.
Sometimes you're not like the person you'd want to hang out with. Would I really want to hang out with me full time? No, you've gotta find people who balance you out.
I've always said, 'Underwater or on top, men and women are compatible.'
One thing about the fantasy dinner party idea that no one considers is whether these people are going to get on. I would say John McEnroe and Ian McEwan, but what would they have to say to each other?
Only hire people you want to have dinner with.
I judge everybody on the Farage Test. Number one, would I employ them? Number two, would I go for a drink with them?
I only socialise with people that I have a lot in common with.
I'm only going to make investments with people that I'd want to spend time with anyway.
No woman on this whole earth can please me and cook for me and socialise and talk to me like my American black woman.
Not everybody is going to like your songs. But you probably wouldn't hang out with those people anyway.
I've always gotten along well with Texans. You've got to.
I don't know if I'd go with an alien to space. I would have to feel the alien's vibe. I'm a vibe person.
Have no friends not equal to yourself.
The American fantasy of love is the 'meet-cute,' 'Love at first sight,' and 'You had me at hello!' The completely spontaneous version of accidental love, which doesn't care about demographics and social compatibility.
It would be horrible to live with someone who didn't like the same things you like.
I can mostly laugh at myself and this whole mess called "Linux developers," which means that I get along with most people and most people get along with me.
I'm so quirky and weird, so I need a weirdo to hang out with!
I gravitate toward people that are a little more outrageous than I am. And we complement each other well.
Mentally and physically, I find I can play with these people.
If I was going to go into an office I wanted it to be with people I would choose to be around even if we didn't have to work together and so that was one of the major reasons why I decided out of all the different companies we invested in to work with Zappos.
A person well satisfied with themselves is seldom satisfied with others, and others, rarely are with them.
I like a girl that takes pride in her appearance - looks are important to me, but it's also important she gets on with my friends and family. If my parents don't like a girl, then she's instantly a no-go.
A lot of people have jobs where they don't necessarily love the people they work with, it's just a part of life. That's not the person you'd hang out with in real life.
Some combinations of people are toxic, you know? You have to find the right one that isn't just going to explode into fiery ash and destruction.
