I learned my lesson early in my career that it's not helpful to go and look at what other people's opinions are.

It's easier to change what you do than people think it is. If you don't change, your field changes around you.

What I learned is that in business you must make decisions based on facts, not react with your heart.

When there is tension, arguments and money problems, it's tough to do your work. Some people thrive on that. I don't.

I don't think people truly know what I have done or that I've actually had a regular job.

I think that for people who are trying to make a difference, you have to start the company being naive. You wouldn't do it if you understood all the work. I work a lot. I wish it was easier.

I work for a place that's been great to me over the years, and when you make a mistake, you're hurting your company as well.

I learned that focus is key. Not just in your running a company, but in your personal life as well.

I worked hard and smarter than most people in the businesses I have been in.

I never misrepresent my position - you've got to be strong enough to make the argument and marshal the case.
