My projects have typically taken a long time to complete. Buildings might take on average about five to seven years to finish, but in my case it's been longer, because the projects I have accepted within the past 15 years have been mostly government projects, and those involve some politics and funding issues, and approvals and so forth.

I've been a fella in the fashion industry for a very long time now, and the industry has been very good to me.

You can invest in companies, you can help grow companies, you can be a venture capitalist - and be a philanthropist at the same time.

The fastest way to get kicked out of a venture capitalist's office is to say that you want to build a business that grows steadily, focuses on employees, and creates wealth over the long term. Entrepreneurs with such ambitions are considered pariahs.
