I always felt, right from a youngster, that it was my destiny to be a success. It sounds a little bit egotistical, but I felt I had a calling to do something.

While I was always successful... I never thought I'd be one in the world.

I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.

I couldn't imagine my life being any more successful than it is now.

I look around at people who had success so early and then didn't know what to do with themselves.

I do feel part of that generation of people who were rather idealistic in the '70s and became disillusioned in the '80s. Not just about social services issues, but the world.

My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.

I've studied the lives of the 20th century's great businessmen and concluded self-confidence was instrumental in all their success.

I had had some successes in the '90s, always made money, but the truth was I was like a man pushing a boulder up a hill. A huge, heavy, difficult boulder made up of some career mistakes, projects that didn't meet expectations, and twenty years of being a known quantity.

I wish people didn't just think of me in the '60s. I'm not any era.
