I appear wild on the outside, but I'm a conservative businessman.

If the person who runs a company has a belief system and everything he does stays fairly truly to that system, it will attract like-minded people who buy into it and then keeps selling itself in concentric circles.

If you can't embrace both failure or the possibility of failure, or the tremendous fear of failure, you can't be wildly successful. It's just an axiomatic truth.

That outgrowth of arrogance comes at a price: some people don't like is. I take responsibility for that.

To me, it’s always what’s next and I think that’s what drives most very successful people. It’s never about the money. I mean that’s a way of keeping score. It’s about achievement and it’s about winning a game and it’s about upping the ante.

When you see someone who has turned his passion into a profit, ask yourself, ‘Why not me?

The happiest people are the ones who follow their own dreams most closely.
