Every president learns on the job because nobody`s really prepared for the kind of decisions that cross your desk every day. No one`s prepared for that.

I don't think life owes me anything and the business doesn't owe me anything. The only way to approach it is by working hard and loving what you do.

I think a lot of the questions - questioning reality and the self and the desire to change, to me are always at the heart of life. No matter how old you are, to me life is always about changing and growing and discovering and that's not always easy.

I could have grabbed his shirt collar. I could have pulled him close to me, so close he could feel my breath on his skin, and I could have said to him, "This is just a crisis. A flash! A single match struck against the implacable darkness of time! You are the one who taught me to never give up. You taught me that new possibilities emerge for those who are prepared, for those who are ready. You have to believe!
