Quotes
- You know, there’s a limit. You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you’re going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules. [1]
- All that can happen is something on the outside can get hurt. We’re not getting hurt. We are now the safest five people on the planet. [1]
- I have grown tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation and new entrants from entering their small existing market. Since Guillermo and I started OceanGate we have heard the baseless cries of "you are going to kill someone" way too often. I take this as a serious personal insult. [2]
- If you're not breaking things, you're not innovating. If you're operating in a known environment as most submersible manufactures do, they don't break things. To me, the more stuff you've broken, the more innovative you've been. [3]
- The Critical thing we've got to understand [is] climate change, how the planet responds to climate change. It's all in the ocean, and we know almost nothing. [3]
