If you don't succeed at first, there's no need for the F word (Failure). Pick yourself up and try, try again.

If you have an idea that's going to make a big difference to people's lives, and other people are not doing it, you know, just say "screw it," do it and get on with it, and give it a go.

If you offer people a decent service, if you give them you know Internet access, if their phones are not cut off on the trains, you know if you have plugs where they can plug in their computers, and if you have a smiling, cheerful staff; and if you can travel really quickly, then you can make a success out of the rail business.

I love creating things, and as an entrepreneur, I've taken on quite a lot of major corporations and done well. Capitalism is the only system that works, but it has its flaws; for one, it brings great wealth to only a few people. That wealth obviously brings extreme responsibility.

I just think you need to spice up life every now and then with a bit of adventure and excitement.

The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me

One thing is certain in business, you and everyone around you will make mistakes.
