Reality is my drug. The more I have of it, the more power I get and the higher I feel

Power is confidence. The confidence to deliver your answer when you're in a board meeting is what will allow you to move up faster. The confidence to be yourself in front of people creates a separation.

Obama is for same-sex marriage. If the President is saying that, then who am I to go the other way?

When I nearly died it made me think – this can happen again any second. I better hurry and do what I want. I started to live like I never lived before. When the fear of death is gone, then nothing can bother you and nobody can stop you.

The public is never wrong. When people don’t respond to what you do, they’re telling you something loud and clear. You’re just not listening.

Success is my drug of choice.

You either pray or worry. Don't do both.
