I don't feel necessarily it's winner-take-all across the globe, where there has to be one local guide for the entire world. We'll certainly do as many of these markets as we can.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I hope to buy brands and businesses globally.
I'm really excited about anything that is able to address the really big markets, so anything that's universally appealing.
I'm not wedded to covering the markets. I'm intrigued by the markets. If I can connect Main Street with Wall Street, then I've succeeded.
The markets where we've got real good presence are the older, more mature markets like Australia, and Western Europe - where we've only got 6,000 stores, compared to the US with 13,000.
The market is good when the local people are in it and believe in it and support it. That's what I want.
But I think we need the international market.
We have to choose between a global market driven only by calculations of short-term profit, and one which has a human face.
I'm in love with the markets of the world. It's a photograph of a city, a culture.
We still have to keep betting on markets like America that are full of opportunities to grow, even if we have to work our heads off to do it.
Businesses are not just local or even national anymore - good ideas are immediately global. So the market opportunities are much larger than we've ever imagined or seen.
