If young people do see me as an example (I'm very flattered if they do!) I hope it is as someone who will go out there and live life to the full.

Every aspect of life is magnificent and wonderful. It's so important to keep fit and healthy.

If you run your business fairly; if you treat people well; if you try to move your business into areas that are making a real positive difference to other peoples lives; I think you'll A. have much pleasant life, but B. I think you'll have a much more successful business.

First and foremost, any business proposal I like must sound fun.

I am impressed with just the enthusiasm for life and the fact that some of these people are in their 80's, even 90's, and they're absolutely determined to get out there and make a difference.

Growth does not always lead a business to build on success. All too often it converts a highly successful business into a mediocre large business.

What matters is working with a few close friends, people you respect, knowing that if times did turn bad these people would hold together.
