There has never been a time when a career in the Penney Company was not a challenge that brought out the best in a man.

Selling is our No. 1 job. Never get away from selling a lot of merchandise personally. The more you sell the more you learn.

The greatest teacher I know is the job itself.

My definition of an executive's job is brief and to the point. It is simply this: Getting things done through other people.

I should be able to pick which applications I use for managing my life, I should be able to pick which content I look at, and I should be able to pick which device I use, which company I use for supplying my internet, and I'd like those to be independent choices.

Knowledge goes hand-in-hand with truth - something I learned with a bit of tough love from my Jesuit education first at Regis High School in New York City and then at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass.

I look at being older and gaining wisdom. I've learned to stay fit and healthy. I accept my body, my life, and my circumstances.

The truth is, I don't find my value in my body or my weight. It's really more about who I am and what I can offer as a human being to the people in my life and the people in the world.
