I didn't go to business school, didn't care about financial stuff and the stock market.

I think it is completely immoral for a shop to trade in the middle of a community, to take money and make profits from that community and then ignore the existence of that community, its needs and problems.

I traveled enormously during the 1960's, when you measured everything by where you traveled and what you did as travelers.

One of the key problems of the business world is that greed has become culturally acceptable.

I don't want our success to be measured only by financial yardsticks, or by our distribution or number of shops. What I want to be celebrated for - and it's going to be tough in a business environment - is how good we are to our employees and how we benefit our community. It's a different bottom line.

We were most creative when our back was against the wall.

Over the past decades...while many businesses have pursued what I call 'business as usual', I have been part of a different, smaller business movement, one that tried to put idealism back on the agenda.
