Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.

My view is there's no bad time to innovate.

If you don't tolerate any risk, you can never innovate.

When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts.

I think you always have to be innovating and adapting and improving. You can't stay the same.

But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.

You can always think that we're old and not innovative, but there is no company that can limp on for 139 years without being creative and having the genes to change.

Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn't want to grow younger. The older you become, the more you know; your bank account of knowledge is much richer.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
