It's all about the money. Write a check, and you can build anything you want.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Don't spend months building something without any idea if someone actually wants it.
I want to build something I'd be happy to be employed by 10 years out.
You have to spend a lot to make a lot. It's not like I'm sitting on top of a pile of money.
I can't just decide myself what's being built. Someone decides what they want, then I work for them.
Building is just skilled labor, I suppose. It's a lot of work. I don't mind other people building them, but the way things go together and are made is interesting to me; I like that a lot.
Why should I build an asset when I can buy it more cheaply than you can build it?
If, early on, you know how things are put together, then you can build. The architect is in charge of making - he is not an artist.
Unfortunately, we are not painters and authors, where we can do something in isolation. We require a lot of money to create what we create. It's almost like being an architect: You can't be an architect and build whatever buildings you want to.
If you work hard and you're good, you can build something for yourself.
I'm not somebody who is going to build something for a few years, sell it, and then go off and just have fun.
