Every business is about understanding people. Which people you have to get through. Which people you have to embrace. Which people you have to jump over. Which people you have to push out of the way. That’s the game.

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

My philosophy is to always find the smartest people you can. Hire people smarter than you.

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 know you're doing what you love when Sunday nights feel the same as Friday nights.

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

When I looked into the mechanics of being a businessman, I found it wasn't rocket science.
