Don't go public before you can be public.

I found myself getting more publicly shy when the gala events and big crowds started. Some people embrace it. To me, it's not worth enough to risk my private life being public.

The best thing is to go public only when you're absolutely sure that's the right move for the company. And in order to make sure that is the case, you need to have as much control over the company as possible, which means not giving up control early on.

Today, there's an expectation that you get to know public people. In the past, it was much more what you did and how you presented yourself.

Actually I don't choose to expose myself in public. I choose to compete; the other side just comes with the package.

I think you can decide how much of yourself you're willing to make public.

You don't choose your public; your public chooses you.

I was getting a lot of hassles from the public. Everybody recognized me.
