I drink about 30 cups of tea a day. I'm a complete tea addict.

We spend most of our lives working. So why do so few people have a good time doing it?

The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.

Building a business is not rocket science, it's about having a great idea and seeing it through with integrity.

Look, if you can indulge in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you're just working. You'll work harder at it, and you'll know more about it. But first you must go out and educate yourself on whatever it is that you've decided to do - know more about kite-surfing than anyone else. That's where the work comes in. But if you're doing things you're passionate about, that will come naturally.

When I was young, every time I criticized someone, my mother would stand me in front of the mirror and say: 'The flaws you see in others are actually a reflection of yourself.' That taught me to pay close attention when I looked at others.

If you're bringing up kids, you just want to smother them with love and praise and enthusiasm. So I don't think you can mollycoddle your kids too much really.
