I'd just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses.

When I hear a company is being run by a team, my heart sinks, because you need to have that leader with a vision and heart that can move things forward.

I wasn't academically successful. And maybe I've spent a lot of my career trying to make up for that.

There's always a way to wear fur.

Just be true to yourself, and listen as much as one is able to to other people whose opinions you respect and look up to but in the end it has to come from you. You can’t really worry too much by looking to the left and the right about what the competition is doing or what other people in your field are doing. It has to be a true vision.

I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.

It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.
