Life is a mountain of solvable problems and I enjoy that.

Business is constantly changing, constantly evolving.

Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.

You need a stubborn belief in an idea in order to see it realised.

The key to success is failure… Success is made of 99 percent failure.

Failure is so much more interesting because you learn from it. That's what we should be teaching children at school, that being successful the first time, there's nothing in it. There's no interest, you learn nothing actually.

We’re taught to do things the right way. But if you want to discover something that other people haven’t, you need to do things the wrong way. Initiate a failure by doing something that’s very silly, unthinkable, naughty, dangerous. Watching why that fails can take you on a completely different path. It’s exciting, actually. To me, solving problems is a bit like a drug. You’re on it, and you can’t get off.
