The problem with a cost reduction strategy is that there is a finite limit.You can only get to zero.

Every conflict can be removed.

Conditions impact the behaviour of people.

Every situation can be substantially improved; even the sky is not the limit.

It's not until I hear songs that I've done, that I realize how much of an inspiration music from the '60s and '70s has been.

In my early career I was like a goldfish. Rejection didn't affect me; I'd just forget how bad it was and keep going back for more.

I find my motivation from everyone who looks up to me and my teammates. From the little girls that look up to me and tell me they want to be like me when they grow up.

In its lowest, most common form, inspiration is simple charisma that becomes magnified by the media, as with Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton.
