One key to entrepreneurial success is to get a great group of people around you who believe in your idea.

Believe in yourself and back yourself to come out on top. A fulfilling career is waiting for those brave enough to find it.

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.

When I was 15, I left school to start a magazine, and it became a success because I wouldn't take no for an answer. I remember banging on James Baldwin's door to ask for an interview when he came to England. Then I got Jean-Paul Sartre's home phone number and asked him to contribute. If I'd been 30, he might have said no, but I was a 15-year-old with passion and he was charmed. Making money was always just a side product of having a good time and creating things nobody'd seen before.

I think that being a business a leader that treads all over people to get to the top is actually not the way I think to become a successful business leader.

In business, as in life, all that matters is that you do something positive.

Like getting into a bleeding competition with a blood bank.
