I was never, ever interested in becoming a businessman or an entrepreneur. If I was a businessman, or saw myself as a businessman, I would have never gone into the airline business.

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

Be authentic and organic. It can't be forced or it won't work. And most importantly, have fun.

Your company should act as a springboard for ambitious employees, not a set of shackles.

You've got to take risks if you're going to succeed. I would much rather ask forgiveness than permission.

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

Starting a business is a huge amount of hard work... You had better enjoy it.
