I believe business has to do well and that the surrounding communities do well.

It's my impression that investment in Europe is done for the right reasons. Europe is a very good place to do business; it's a large market.

To be an entrepreneur in Europe, there is a stigma attached to it. There's a reason why England is known as a nation of shopkeepers. Part of it is the idea that it's better to have a shop and keep it up and running than close the doors and try to do something much more significant.

We've always tried to be good citizens in the communities that we do business in.

I have a foundational belief that business results start with culture and your people.

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.

I run businesses all around the United States, all around the globe.

It's like night and day... to do business, in Europe, there is no bull, they are pretty straightforward.

My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.
