A lot of people in this business are born with money or family connections.

There are obviously peaks and valleys in everyone's career. This business can be a roller-coaster ride, and it's really hard to stay on top all the time. Very few people do.

Growing up in the business you have to grow up very fast - you do have a different type of childhood, that has its benefits and it has its drawbacks.

With a lot of kids in the business, the parents get as twisted as they do, and there's a lot of opportunities to go their own way, but anyone has that opportunity.

I would never want any of my kids to go into this industry; not until they are old enough to understand and if this is something that they really want to do.

Not everyone is born to run a $4 billion company. There is no magic formula. I've learned, and I've grown by learning. That's why I've enjoyed being in business so much: It's stretched me.

When you're in an industry where you're forced to grow up so quickly, part of you never grows up, and that's a good thing.

Starting your own business isn't just a job - it's a way of life.

The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not.

It's never popular among young people to be part of the establishment.
