I'm optimistic about the country; I'm optimistic about the American people.

If you want to achieve widespread impact and lasting value, be bold.

Social and digital media is a bullet train, and that bullet train is not coming home.

In the 1960s, if you introduced a new product to America, 90% of the people who viewed it for the first time believed in the corporate promise. Then 40 years later if you performed the same exercise, less than 10% of the public believed it was true. The fracturing of trust is based on the fact that the consumer has been let down.

Customers must recognize that you stand for something.

Everyone must have a shot at the American Dream.

In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity or you can pick yourself up and say listen, I have to be responsible for myself.
