I've been around long enough to know that a good deal of the praise heaped on me I had nothing to do with. The only thing I did object to was the fact that where the criticism was actually wrong.

Now, almost twenty years since my last job in book publishing, I know that there are far more socially inept people in book than in magazine publishing.

We've been around long enough and have been to enough award shows to know that it is easy to lose to Phil Collins at any time.

When I started it [non for profit], I thought, I'm not smart enough to do this. I had no experience in management, no experience in administration, no experience in nonprofit; but then this phrase came into my head: I only have to be smart enough to find people who are smarter than me; I only have to be smart enough to recognize who knows more than me.
