Usually directors hire me because I'm what they are looking for. But once in a while, and it's very rare, they will hire me and then try to make me over.

Usually, I get hired because I'm tall.

I'm really good at hiring good people.

Hire the best people, and trust what you hired them to do.

Always be smarter than the people who hire you.

I get hired because I improvise well.

If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly like.

I have always hired people of different ages. Young people and older people. People in their 70s and in their 20s. People who are fully capable of talking back to me.

When I first started, I was kind of surprised that anyone would ever hire me at all. So I took everything that I was offered.

If haters or whatever want to find you - I mean, some of them are so tenacious. You want to hire them to work for you. They're very, very savvy in terms of how they find you and get to you.
