Love is not about possession. It's about memory.
That's exhilarating if you're doing well, and very crushing if you're not. It leads, in the worst cases -- in the analysis of a sociologist like Emil Durkheim -- it leads to increased rates of suicide. There are more suicides in developed, individualistic countries than in any other part of the world. And some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally -- they own their success, but they also own their failure.
The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not.
Money is not a motivating factor... My motivation comes from playing the game I love.
