An entrepreneur is not what you call yourself, it's what someone calls you in recognition of what you've achieved. I call Richard Branson an entrepreneur. Rupert Murdoch called me one. Anybody who stands up and says: 'I'm an entrepreneur' needs shooting. You'll drive people crazy.

Effective leadership is about earning respect, and it's also about personality and charisma

I'm a commercial person, not an academic.

I've just got an exceptional memory, if I say so myself.

There's a lot of regrets about last year - maybe turning up was the biggest regret about it

Success comes more quickly to the entrepreneur that follows his instincts rather than following the progress of his competitors.

I like to be a very fair person.
