Many people you think are individual achievers in fact have either a strong spousal partner over many years or a business partner who's either in the background, not given enough publicity or less egocentric.

There is the expression of selfishness and there is the expression of selflessness - but economists or theoreticians never touched that part. They said: 'Go and become a philanthropist.' I said, 'No, I can do that in the business world, create a different kind of business - a business based on selflessness.'

The self-owned and -operated business is the freest life in the world.

Sometimes you have to be selfish to be selfless.

I'm not a loner. I have to have a life partner.

I'm in a business that invites narcissism, self-involvement, and egos being blown out of proportion.

People don't know how hard it is to have your own business.

You have to have a strong sense of self in this business - otherwise they're going to spit you out.

If we are happy within ourselves, we don't accept or demand that our partner should fulfill every need. We need to be comfortable with our own company.

I don't run any of my companies. I always partner with somebody who wants to operate.
