I'm not a "what if." I want to just do it, try it, give it my all, and if it's not meant to be, I can accept that. But I had to do it.

I had always been taught that life was the other way around -- that you had to make sure you got what was coming to you . . .

When somebody says, "You can't," I say, "Why not?"

Don't ever lose sight of your dreams. And, more importantly, reach for the stars.

What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best - which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that, success found me.

The principle was right there - you couldn't miss it. The more we did for our customers, the more they did for us.

The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, "You can't. You'll fail. It won't work. You don't have...," I wouldn't be here today.
