Quote

In every business I had ever started, even ones that had totally failed, I had kept good relations with the investors.

Our business was built on trust.

Your initial instincts about investments and people are usually correct. We do a lot of due diligence in this business and most of the time it comes out where we started.

It's my company and I believe in the company that's why I started it.

I always invest my own money in the companies that I create. I don't believe in the whole thing of just using other people's money. I don't think that's right. I'm not going to ask other people to invest in something if I'm not prepared to do so myself.

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 really did believe that the most successful investments were the ones that you could own for the long run.

I thought, if I went into business I'd be able to control my own destiny.

I believe in the future, and to be a good investor, you have to believe in the future.

To be entirely honest, I am an extremely confident person, and I don't think I would have gotten into this business if I felt that I wasn't going to succeed and I intend to be in this business, for the rest of my life.
