If a man or a woman puts in an honest day's work, they should to be able to earn a living wage.

Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.

Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people.

You've got to open on a Sunday, but at the end of the day, you've just lost a lot of money by opening on the Sunday, so it's very, very difficult to make money when you're paying unskilled people $42 per hour.

Many people want to scale back their working hours as they near the end of their careers, but not necessarily to give up work altogether.

Sometimes when you're putting the work in it just seems so, so hard, and you never know when that work's going to pay off.

We have to challenge the whole idea that it's acceptable for a society like Britain to have such a significant number of people who do not work one day of the week and don't have any possibility of improving the quality of their lives.

And if small businesspeople say they made it on their own, all they are saying is that nobody else worked seven days a week in their place. Nobody showed up in their place to open the door at five in the morning. Nobody did their thinking, and worrying, and sweating for them.

I know you've got to earn people's trust, and you've got to earn it day after day after day.

Some people care about their work lasting forever - I have little interest in it.
