I've always said that if you can get the best people who are good at what they do, but more importantly are passionate about what they do, you'll succeed.

When I'm hiring leaders, I pay a lot of attention to what their peers and what people who report to them say about them. We want people who relate well with their peers and cooperate in an exchange of information rather than being overly competitive.

Like anybody else that goes and does their job, there's a way to do your job with excellence.

I learned that when you do the best job that you can do, some people will idolize you, others won't care, and some will vilify you.

It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.

I tell them how what matters is becoming the best you can be at whatever you're doing.

It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.

Working with great people makes you great; you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.
