All I believed in was working on software night and day.
And for my 20s that was perfect.
I didn't have a wife or family at all.
And my role was very hands-on role.
You know what a harlequin is?

No one gives two shits who we are beyond that.
Tim, let's talk about Apple's role in the world.
You're a huge company.
What are you doing to create jobs?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Some— a lot of people ask me, "Do you think it's a company's job to create jobs?"
And my response is a company should have values because a company is a collection of people.
I can no longer sit on the Chair of Saint Peter.
- You're mistaken. You are— - Silence!
I cannot play this role anymore.
For the past 25 years, you have not only been my wife and mother of my children, you have been my best friend.
You took on a role you didn't ask for.
And you made it your own with grace, and with grit, and with style, and good humor.
Most of the content is visual, right?

the government unveiled more than $200 million in funding to support promising start-ups.
Witzleben and I will assume the roles of commander of the armed forces and head of state.
We all have such distinct roles in this system.
Prosecutors, defenders, judges.

in the US and in some other countries as well.
And so what that does, I believe, is put more responsibility on the everyday citizen
and companies to help promote change and improving things.
And I don't mean to play a government role.
But it's not just government who can change things.

Ha ha! You said words.
Brian, have you decided who's gonna star in your show?
Well, it's a tough role.
