Quote

I always knew I wanted to make my own way; I never wanted to be dependent on my father.

I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I'm sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled.

There are things I want to do to be a better human being and a better father.

My father started with nothing and is a self-made man. No matter what I do with my life, I can never match his accomplishments.

All I wanted to do was come into my own and find out my career path and what I wanted to do with my life - but, at the same time, showing respect to my father and mother and make them proud as well.

I wanted to grow up to be just like my father.

At the end of the day, I am not my dad and have my own journey to make.

Initially I had intended to study medicine, but before going to University I had decided that I would be better suited to a career in which I could concentrate my activities and interests more on a single goal than appeared to be possible in my father's profession.

Throughout my career, I have been confronted with people who have doubted my ability to achieve the dreams and ambitions distilled into my soul by my father.

My father raised me to think independently and follow my own path in life.
