Every August, I go away for four weeks to a place in Michigan. I work in the mornings, spend the month in shorts and flip-flops. It gives me time to think like an investor and come back in September for some heavy planning.

I spent the bulk of my career on building my company, and Morningstar is where the passion is.

As I get older, I increasingly value free time that's completely free of appointments. Time to think, time to reflect, time to just hang out with my wife and kids.

I was a slightly geeky kid.

I joined a very male-dominated profession back in 1986. I wanted to work with big multinational Fortune 500 companies, but you don't come into the firm and automatically get those. So, quite frankly, a key to my success was that I found male mentors and male sponsors. I think some women are afraid to say that.

I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.

I am really happy with the appreciation 'Baahubali' is receiving. Its success proves that if you back the right content, it can travel across the country and the globe.

My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.
