Today, where you come from seems less and less important, as globalization is the new order. I prefer the old world.

I did apply to get a job, many times, but no one ever hired me. I think my hyperactive nature didn't score me any points, and I remember when I went for interviews, I would ask all the questions - this probably confused the people who were hiring.

Never invest in ideas, only in people!

I am a bit of a workaholic, and I am still not sure what a "weekend" is all about. I love what I do, and I do what I love.

The movie industry is brutal. It is dangerous. It is, for most, soul destroying. Creating art (music, books, films, etc.) can be beautiful and liberating, but trying to sell art, well, that is the movie business. There are few winners, and lots and lots of losers.

Business, like life, is funny. We all go through difficult times, and we all have to face curve balls and challenges, each and every week. And we need to laugh when things are funny. If we take it all too seriously we will go mad.

Entrepreneurs need to listen. They don't need to be good listeners (although it can only help) but they need to know when to listen.
