My history of lending money from banks is that they want to know the ins and outs of the backside of a duck.

I've written books on advertising-cheque books.

I like things in their proper places.

Money is all right but once you have it you learn it's not the be all and end all.

Above all, in order to gain respect, you need to be true to yourself. There is no point in trying to be brutal if it's not in your nature; there is no point in trying to be suave and sophisticated if it doesn't come naturally.

Nobody can honestly say that they never lie.

Once you decide to work for yourself, you never go back to work for somebody else.
