I'm much more concerned about America than the Democratic Party.

Authentic brands don't emerge from marketing cubicles or advertising agencies. They emanate from everything the company does.

We are witnessing a seismic change in consumer behavior. That change is being brought about by technology and the access people have to information.

I grew up in a working class family where there was no health insurance. I saw first hand the fracturing of the American dream and the bitterness that comes when there is no hope and a lot of despair. So I wanted to build the company, in a sense, that my father never got a chance to work for.

Success in the United States is not an entitlement in China. You have to go there and earn it, and earn it the right way.

I think we are living in a time where the consumer has lots of choices, whether it's coffee, newspapers or whatever it is. And there is parity in the market place and as a result of that the consumer is beginning to make decisions, not just on what things cost and the convenience of it.

At its core, I believe leadership is about instilling confidence in others.
