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

I don't think spending time in Ottawa is a good use of my time as the leader.

If a man could give birth it would be to a book - it's an 18-month gestation period.

I have great people working for me now. I surround myself with smart people.

I see negotiations as an honest attempt to reach a deal that's great for everyone at the table. But sometimes, for whatever reason, that's impossible. You need to accept that possibility-don't make a deal for the sake of making a deal. If you do, chances are it will fall apart later anyway, with costs and headaches for everyone involved. And once you walk away, don't come back.

I want to go to bed richer than when I woke up. The pursuit of wealth is a wonderful thing, but the thing is you have to be honest about it, you have to tell the truth.

I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.
