In the '80's my gut feeling was that airlines were crap. I hated spending time on planes. I thought we could create the kind of airline I'd like. So we got a secondhand 747 and gave it a go.

There is no point in going into a business unless you can make a radical difference in other people’s lives.

I've obviously been born fortunate. I love people. I enjoy every single minute of my life.

And [we hope to sell] the clean fuels to other airlines. I mean, the exciting thing about the breakthrough with clean fuels for the airline industry is there's only 1,700 pumps in the world that fill up the airlines.

I just wanted to create things that I could be proud of. Money was just an evil byproduct to pay the bills at the end of the year.

I believe in myself. I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love.

I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive then I believe you are better off not doing it. A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.
