I learned from both my parents that you had to be clever.

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

I never count my money. I think that's your job.

I don’t use a computer. We have too much information and it’s really impossible to filter it.

Some people say the reason I am not married is that I don't understand small business and the toughest small business in the world is a family. But when you are happy and feel every minute of your life, what is the reason to get married?

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

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.
