'I suppose I could comb my hair more often'

• "Microsoft is not about greed. It's about innovation and fairness."

• "Is the rich world aware of how four billion of the six billion live? If we were aware, we would want to help out, we'd want to get involved."
• "As you improve health in a society, population growth goes down. You know, I thought it was... before I learned about it, I thought it was paradoxical."
• "AIDS is a disease that is hard to talk about. The ideal thing would be to have a 100 percent effective AIDS vaccine."
• "I have drifted away from thinking about these philanthropic things. And it was only as the wealth got large enough and Melinda and I had talked about the view that the wealth wasn't something that would be good to just pass to the children."
• "I'm serious when I do my work. I'm not serious when I'm home with my kids."
• "If you're asking whether I intentionally mess up my hair, no, I don't. And certain things, like my freckles, they're just there. I don't do anything consciously. I suppose I could get contact lenses. I suppose I could comb my hair more often."
