"One of my major objectives is to build a long-term enterprise, to build shareholder value over time."

"The good thing about execution issues are that they are within our control."

"We have innovative differentiated technology that is recognized by our customers and third party analysts as the best in the industry; we have industry-leading support with a very large satisfied installed base due to our best-in-class support and development organisations."

"Product pricing is aligned to the way customers want to acquire their solutions and are delivered via different delivery models including appliances, the cloud, or as on-premise software solutions."

"I have either run private equity funded companies or been a partner in a private equity fund since 1982. I've had a front row view of the vital role private equity continues to play in building and keeping American businesses competitive in the global economy."

"Private equity helps produce strong companies, promotes innovation and spurs job growth."

"Private equity funds a substantial amount of new businesses and is the source of capital to rejuvenate failing businesses, which are major drivers of job growth in this economy."

"There is no denying that downsizing can happen when a company receives private equity funding. It is unfortunate and hard on everyone who is affected."

"People do recognize me. I walk around with sunglasses, and I think I'm hidden, but they see me."

"I'm really drawn to relationship stories and human emotions."

"I don't really like scary movies. I don't seek them out. I'm very sensitive and impressionable. I'm the kind of person who will sleep with the light on for a week if I get really scared."

"My mom loves the '80s. I grew up hearing a lot about the '80s."

"Good luck dragging me into a horror movie! I get so scared. It's an overactive imagination or something."

"I do see a lot of roles that are, like, the girlfriend or the love interest or the girl next door. Maybe not totally well-rounded kinds of characters - women who are more of a plot device in a way."

"When people approach me, it's a vulnerable moment for everybody. You can see that sometimes people don't quite know what to say to you, but they want to come up to you, and you can tell they're nervous, and it's really humbling and endearing."

"There's a lot to love about Nancy Wheeler in the second season of 'Stranger Things.'"

"I had never seen the classics with Molly Ringwald, like 'Pretty in Pink' or 'Sixteen Candles,' or '80s horror, like 'Poltergeist,' 'Close Encounters,' and 'Nightmare on Elm Street.' I went back and watched all of those."

"The hardest thing is not caring about other people's opinions."

"Social media - It's not real life. I only caught the tail end of it in high school. It can be good, and it can be fun, but you can't let it get toxic."

"When you go to set, they just go, 'OK, let's see what you guys do!' The camera moves around what you initially feel."

"To go from not being recognised at all to literally, the next day, having people stop you in the street was very, very weird. I had to buy myself a great baseball cap."

"I do have Instagram, but I try to avoid going on it too much. Some people are very good at how they use it, and they enjoy that interaction, but I want to be very careful."

"I'm not a momentary decision maker. I like well-informed decisions."

"Sometimes I wake up and look in the mirror and am like, 'Whoa!' I don't know if I'm having more fun, but I'm having a lot of fun."

"I was always kind of searching for the right social group in high school and never really felt like I belonged with any one specific clique."

"When you're in high school, and you're trying to get the attention of a guy you like, sometimes you don't always make the best decisions."

"To the extent that you can find ways where you're making predictions, there's no substitute for testing yourself on real-world situations that you don't know the answer to in advance."

"By playing games you can artificially speed up your learning curve to develop the right kind of thought processes."

"The key to making a good forecast is not in limiting yourself to quantitative information."

"Distinguishing the signal from the noise requires both scientific knowledge and self-knowledge."
