People I work with are open to leadership that has a vision, but this vision has to be communicated clearly and persuasively, and always, always with passion.

If civilization is going to survive, business and policy-makers must move on, to find within themselves more developed emotions than fear or greed.

My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That's where it should be.

I wake up every morning thinking...this is my last day. And I jam everything into it. There's no time for mediocrity. This is no damned dress rehearsal.

Every time you buy something consider it a vote of confidence in the company that produced it.

If you can shape your business life or your working life, you can just look at it as another extension - you just fulfill all your values as a human being in the work place. If you are an activist, you bring the activism of your life into your business, or if you love creative art, you can bring that in.

You educate people, especially young people, by stirring their passions, so you take every opportunity to grab the imagination of your employees, you get them to feel they are doing something important, that they are not a lone voice, that they are the most powerful and potent people on the planet.
