There's no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery. You can't do any business from there.
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.
I realised how rich I had become and I asked myself, 'Do I really want to be the richest person in the cemetery?

So many people spend their lives chasing money and end up as the richest men in the cemetery. I don't want to be like that.
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me.

I think the world's a better place because Bill realized that his goal isn't to be the richest guy in the cemetery, right?
In the next 15 or 20 years, I hope I'll be the richest man in the world. That's one of my goals. I want to be a billionaire. I want to get to a position where generation on generation don't have to worry about nothing. I don't want family members from my kids to my son's kids to never have to worry. And I can't do that now just playing basketball.

The worst thing a man can admit is 'I'm not 100 percent fulfilled by my family.' But it doesn't mean he doesn't love his family. I love my family, but I still want to work; I still want challenges. It took me a while to fall in love with the responsibility of family life, and it was a deep thing when I did.

And then many things became very clear... we learned perfectly that the life of a single human being is worth millions of times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.
I want to record history through the destiny of individuals who often belong to the least wealthy classes. I do not want to show war in general, nor history with a capital H, but rather the tragedy of a single man, of a family.
