I'm a great believer that saying yes is a lot more fun than saying no.

I have always looked on my businesses not just as money-making machines, but as adventures that can, I hope, make people better off.

I am prepared to try anything once.

If you spot an opportunity and are really excited by it, throw yourself into it with everything you've got.

I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.

One thing is certain in business: you will make mistakes. When you are pushing the boundaries, mistakes are inevitable-how you react is important.

I have always believed that business should be a force for good.
