I have this philosophy that A and B students work for C students.

I was in oil when oil was $8 a barrel and in construction when interest rates were 20 percent. I was looking for something everyone used and where you could build a customer base - and if it was successful, you could take it nationwide and even worldwide.

I can remember living in the housing projects and being broke like it was yesterday.

The industry should take comfort in knowing that WinStar is my main focus after my faith and family.

It's impossible for everybody to be in sync, even the most proper family.

Some parents do not send their children to school because they don't know its importance at all.

I met my wife in Bombay at an official function. And then we courted for three years. That's a great old term, 'courting.' And we had to do it quietly, of course, because you would know the difficulties one might have with Indian parents. She was advised by her father that people in the West don't take marriage seriously.

My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
