When people warn me against doing something once my mind is made up, I grow increasingly determined to try it.

So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.

Virgin could never have grown into the group of more than 200 companies it is now, were it not for a steady stream of intrapreneurs who looked for and developed opportunities, often leading efforts that went against the grain.

You only live once, and I just don’t want to waste a minute of my life.

Space is hard - but worth it. We will persevere and move forward together.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

Over the years I have found one of my best strengths is my ability to recognise talent and trust them.
