When I was growing up, I was regularly involved in local activities such as food collections, food kitchens, and other initiatives.

Throughout my life and career, I have continually been impressed with the importance of integrity - whether it was growing up as a Boy Scout, working in one of my first jobs as a university janitor, or being a leader in a Fortune 500 company.

My philosophy is to make money.

The history of Iranian foreign investment in the past, their terms were always quite challenging, quite difficult.

Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did... in fact, they admired it.

Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.

After 'Born to Run,' I had a reaction to my good fortune. With success, it felt like a lot of people who'd come before me lost some essential part of themselves. My greatest fear was that success was going to change or diminish that part of myself.

The most important thing is to be successful on the field. Being second in the world is an unbelievable achievement. But for me, as a coach, you want to be the best - you get nothing for being second. We want to be the best in our field.
