Growing up, I knew you were supposed to have a profession - and something better than being a shopkeeper, which is what my parents were.

Entrepreneurs, guys that start businesses, grow with them. It's more painful than it would appear.

Sometimes I wish I lived more in the day, but I'm happier thinking about tomorrow or the day after. The way I see it, there's always a new or next thing.

A woman at the Limited once asked me, 'Why do you work?' She said, 'You made a lot of money as a young man, so why are you still working?' I had never thought about it before. Forced to consider it, I told her, 'You know why? Because I think that if you stop to smell the roses, you'll get hit by a truck.'
