My mother was determined to make us independent. When I was four years old, she stopped the car a few miles from our house and made me find my own way home across the fields. I got hopelessly lost.

To me, business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

I am a believer in trying to treat people properly and trying to respond and making sure that I find the time to be courteous.

I love stirring the pot. I love giving big companies a run for their money - especially if they're offering expensive, poor-quality products.

I prefer to have a great time and to keep my wits about me.

Dreaming is one of humanity’s greatest gifts; it champions aspiration, spurs innovation, leads to change, and propels the world forward.
