I never wanted to be on any billionaires list. I never define myself by net worth. I always try to define myself by my values.

I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see And pursuing that vision.

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.

Success is the by-product when you work toward the target.

Everyone must have a shot at the American Dream.

The entrepreneurial opportunity in America is alive and well.
