It's never a good idea to organize society in a way that depletes the energy of half the population. We discovered this with women decades ago, and now it's time to realize it with introverts.

Any time people come together in a meeting, we're not necessarily getting the best ideas; we're just getting the ideas of the best talkers.

Your tendency to be inward-directed or outward-directed is huge; it governs every part of the way you live and work and love.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I actually find extroversion to be a really appealing personality style.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
