I'm still committed to the success of the U.K. and the belief of the strong intelligence and passion and determination of the British people. I'm a strong believer of their long-term historical success.

I am not trying to chase what other people are doing.

I believe this artificial intelligence is going to be our partner. If we misuse it, it will be a risk. If we use it right, it can be our partner.

Internet as a service is like culture that you have to understand, and each country has a local culture.

If you live in the States, you see the windmill signal on your smartphone all the time. It's like living in Beijing air. You have to remember the blue sky.

The best opportunity for return on investment is in the information revolution.

A person's life is over in 50, 100 years. But a company lives on through the people it is composed of, and SoftBank group has to survive even after I'm gone.

In tennis, you strike a ball just after the rebound for the fastest return. It's the same with investment.

I have no intention of making small bets.

My passion never fades out.

Our aim is to develop affectionate robots that can make people smile.

It struck me deep in my mind. Some day, the chip is going to surpass mankind's brain.

Uber is redefining the transportation industry now; Airbnb is doing it to the hotel industry. You can expect that to happen in every single industry.

Think big; think disruptive. Execute with full passion.

People usually compare the computer to the head of the human being. I would say that hardware is the bone of the head, the skull. The semiconductor is the brain within the head. The software is the wisdom. And data is the knowledge.

It's a long journey. There will be good times, and there will be bad times, but SoftBank is always there.

Those who rule data will rule the entire world.

I don't really watch any TV. I'll glance at the TV sometimes if my wife's watching 'Empire' or 'Scandal.' I'll sit with her for an episode. But I don't have a TV show that I watch.

I'm proud of Toronto. I'm proud of Canada. I'm proud of the NBA. I'm very proud of it.

To build a winning culture, you are going to have to prove yourself.

I love it here. I really do. Toronto is home for me.

Look at the teams that have been successful in the NBA. Yes, you have big, glamorous cities like L.A. But Miami has won, and so has San Antonio. Oklahoma City is a very successful team. They're not the biggest markets.

It's my responsibility to put a team on the floor that will win, and that attracts players.

It doesn't matter where you are - it could be Timbuktu - if you win, people will watch, they'll follow and they'll support.
