I can't imagine anything worse than trying to impress a girl with dinner. To be honest, I'm always impressing myself, not other people.

Do I shout, belittle or swear? No. I have sufficient confidence within myself to control my environment just by my presence, just by working hard and leading from the front.

We're in a world that is run by accountants and I think that it's sad in many ways.
