I like knowing about everything, and I think that really helps me in my business.

I always thought I would be a teacher. And I think I actually lived up to my initial dreams, because what I do now is teach millions and millions of people many different kinds of things.

I'm always on the lookout for those good, simple solutions to everyday problems.

I love the challenge of starting at zero every day and seeing how much I can accomplish.

I really do have rules for running and managing a business that have never been formalized before.

All I really want is a three-room house. The home I have designed at my new farm in Bedford, New York, is a three-room house: bedroom on top, living room in the middle, and kitchen on the ground.

Don't be embarrassed by your achievements. Being an overarchiever is nothing despicable. It is only admirable. Never lower your standards.
