1. Tell me what you would do with the 21 billion isk I have in my wallet and assets.
When I first started this game in 2007, I was given a billion isk. It almost ruined the game for me. I had nothing to struggle for, nothing to strive for. I had an endless supply of everything I wanted - ie t1 ships and stuff.
Eve is struggle. Eve is strife. Eve is satisfying when you win, despite the odds being stacked against you. Eve is the most fulfilling when you beat the overwhelming odds, when the opponent that's foreseen your every move burns in his wreck from your guns.
What has this got to do with your question? Well, just to tell you to mind who you give your isk to. If you gave it to me :D I honestly wouldn't use it for me. I may have played this game for nearly four years now, but 21b would probably still make the game boring. I'd use the isk instead to try to turn New Eden on its ears.
Strife. Conflict. Struggle. It's what we all want and crave, and in the stale warfare of Eve, I would like to show our napoleonic armies what happened when machine guns were introduced to the field, or what happened when a french army of iron clad knights met a ragtag band of archers, or what happened when the continental caracal formations met the mobile horse-borne Swede in the thirty years war.  21b will be far from enough, but it would be a start. A good start. Just buying ships and stuff would be boring. You got to have ambition.

2. Tell me about the dreams you have for yourself in eve that you are worried will never come true.
I would like to see a future where the Blob means certain death for the practicioners. It is possible, it is achievable, but people are set in their ways - and few people understand that too many people can lose you the battle as well as having too few. :)

3. Tell me about the biggest mistake you have made in this universe we call eve. What did you learn if anything?
Trust. Or lack of it. This game has a way of inducing carefulness that sometimes inhibits you and leads to disaster. I lead an alliance, didn't really put my trust in other people, and we lost a very important strategic thing when I got a triple whammy of a ****load of work, the breakdown of my relationship, and being burned out on eve.

4. Give some sage advice for people who will be here long after my plot license is dead and gone and somebody else is using my face.
Don't take free gifts, rely on yourself, struggle and strive and Eve will be glorious for years. Isn't that sage and wise, and true?
