Influence is the new power - if you have influence, you can create a brand.

I get influence from everybody and everything.

Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it. It would be a nightmare if we started to really think about it; it would tie our hands, it would tie everyone else's hands.

It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.

Influence, people think about it as someone you like but influence is also what you're revolted by. In fact, often it's what you're running away from.

I have more influence now than when I had the power.

I don't see myself as being as big of an influence as other people seem to think.

I've been asked a great deal about the influence I've had with my work and it's impossible to say, you know.

I definitely don't think of myself as being an influence.

When influential people speak, conversations spread like ripples in a pond. And those ripples are multidirectional; influencers inspire everyone around them to explore new ideas and think differently about their work.
