Going public is not a business plan.

I was an economics major in college, and every summer after school, I would drive my car from California, from Claremont men's college at the time, to New York. And I worked on Wall Street.

It's not just buying the company. Sure, we picked the right companies, and we picked the right management and, most importantly, we've given them the right incentive to perform.

It's one of the most important things at the end of the day, being able to say no to an investment.

And make sure that capital structure we have in place is the right capital structure. I think that's the reason that we've been successful.

A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them.

Whales who come up and spout off get harpooned.
