I cannot imagine being happy anywhere else in the world but in Cape Town - South Africa in general, but Cape Town in particular.

I still enjoy what I'm doing, which is building businesses. I don't play golf. I don't have any particular passion apart from my business and my family, and that gives me all the pleasure that I want.

Any business either grows or dies. You've just got to keep growing.

I believe businesses don't grow or develop in terms of a blueprint. There is a huge element of opportunism involved.

I'm a sucker for giving people money on the street. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, but I can't help myself.

In the best days of our republic Americans were fiercely proud of the fact that rich and poor met on such equal terms in so many ways, and without the slightest trace of hostility.

I've always been an entrepreneur, but it's never been about the money. I like a challenge, the harder the better.

Students can spend their money better than government can. It should not require a federal loan and decades of debt for students to get a college degree. Price limits access - plain and simple.
