It's a strange atmosphere always over there, it is darker and less glamorous, and you don't feel as high. It is a different kind of test - can you raise your level in a less exciting environment and perhaps still a very difficult one?

The biggest things in life have been achieved by people who, at the start, we would have judged crazy. And yet if they had not had these crazy ideas the world would have been more stupid.

For me, motivation is a person who has the capability to recruit the resources he needs to achieve a goal.

I am supposed to take the bullets and absorb them. Like a bear, a polar bear.

I'm not scared to spend money. If you go out with me one night, you will understand that.

People who work make the world live better and to reward these people well is normal. Yet they are not the people who are the wealthiest.

In a competitive world, not everybody can follow the pace; you will leave people out. We now accept that we must take care of these people. You cannot let them die in the streets; people will not accept it. And that is right, too.
