Everyone must have a shot at the American Dream.

We woke up one day, and all the sudden Starbucks was in the middle of this political crossfire between the people who want to bring a gun into Starbucks and the people who want to prevent it. It is a very difficult, fragile situation.

Managing and navigating through a financial crisis is no fun at all.

I think people will walk into the Starbucks store and overnight recognize the significant difference between what Starbucks represents day-in and day-out and all the other coffee companies that have been serving coffee in India for so many years.

Starbucks is rekindling America's love affair with coffee, bringing romance and fresh flavor back to the brew.

Success is empty if you arrive at the finish line alone.

The challenge of the retail business is the human condition.
