My mom was a working woman. She made more money than my dad. Both my parents worked. And this was in the '60s.

I make more money in a week than my father made in a year.

I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me, and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.

My father is a businessman, and my mother is a schoolteacher.

While we share the same set of values, we can - and do - have different business interests. Dad has been there to give me career advice along the way, but he has always let me call the play.

My dad said to always do what I loved and not worry about the money or anything, because if I do what I love, then the money will come.

People who build family businesses are not classically trained. They have to deal with an enormous amount of politics. You think corporate politics are tough? Go work for your dad or your mom.

There are parents with wealth who just want their kids to be wealthy, and then there are other parents with money who want to teach their kids how they got it. That's what my dad was like.

It is disconcerting to sit with your parent and find you're turning over your future to your government, which can't manage their money.
