I am tough minded, but not hard hearted.

Obsession makes my life bad and my work good.

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.

I battle to fall asleep at night. My mind races every other night. I have always been like this, for as long as I can reminder.

When someone stands you up for a meeting, sure, you have the right to be disappointed, and perhaps even angry. But you can't take it personally - they probably do it to everyone.

No one looks for pots of gold, it just happens. Sure, some people are born with an incredible financial ability, and some people are natural salesmen, but creating a business, driving a venture, mobilizing an army, is not something you are born to do - it just happens, by accident.

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.
