There is only one way to go: up. I like to find cheap assets with problems. It gives me power.

I work 12 to 14 hours a day, and in the spare time I do sport.

No one doing big business can avoid some contact with government agencies, regulators, and policy makers.

Nobody was interested in me before I bought the Nets.

The government in Russia does not tell me what to do with my assets.

I've never lost my cool. Even in love affairs. If you have Plan B and Plan C, you are all the time relaxed.

Money is not the thing that drives me. I like to develop assets to create value. No one cares how rich you are or what your ranking is in Forbes magazine.
