I have had some great successes and great failures. I think every entrepreneur has. I try to learn from all of them.

Television is the most interesting hobby I've ever had.

I keep anywhere between 5-10 percent of my net worth in venture ideas.

I'm ashamed of what has happened to Canada. And I'm not leaving a $1.5 trillion deficit to my kids. No chance in hell is that happening.

I actually think being an entrepreneur is a state of mind. If you're going to be an entrepreneur, my thesis is that you have to sacrifice everything for some period in your life to be successful. You have to be myopic and completely focused and unbalanced in every way. Once you've achieved success, you're free to do whatever you like.
