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.

There are moments in business and in life when you have to say, "Failure is not an option."

Every great business leader I've ever met, in addition to being very smart, very driven, they have this, 'Why not me? Screw it, I deserve it, let's go.' And if you don't have that, you can't achieve greatness.

You can be hard on people as long as you're just as hard on yourself.

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

Changes in my personal life are nerve-racking for me.

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