If I have been fortunate enough to have risen to a level in this business where people would actually listen to me, then I think I have a duty to convey all truths that I encounter.

You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart.

It is still a surprise when people tell me that I've had an influence on them, particularly when it's someone I really respect.

What I learned is that in business you must make decisions based on facts, not react with your heart.

I stay true to myself and my style, and I am always pushing myself to be aware of that and be original.

Always believe what you see - with your own eyes, that is. Always believe what you see. That's the best way to go about this business. I've heard a lot of things about a lot of people, and it was never true.

I think you've got to have your feet planted firmly on the ground, especially in this business, and you must not believe things that are said or written about you, because everything gets out of proportion one way or the other.

I influence anybody who is able to get through the chaos of my first impression.

I stand by the principle of honesty, fair play, and trustworthiness.

I've always strived to keep mixing it up, keep doing different things, and work in all different parts of our business.
