I designed collections around whatever struck my fancy... fruits, vegetables, politics, or peacocks! I entered in with no business sense.
What's the subject of life - to get rich? All of those fellows out there getting rich could be dancing around the real subject of life.
There's a bunch of people who sit around and make excuses for themselves and get upset with artists, but you already know what this is - it's an ego-driven business.
The biggest part of my job now is to quickly develop successors, and around the world I am working to develop new business leaders in the company.
I'm big into fishing, but I've never been much of a hunter. I never was really raised around it a whole lot, so I never got a chance to do it a whole lot.
It is true that the Puritans banned all recreation on Sundays and all games of chance, gambling, bear baiting, horse racing, and bowling in or around taverns at all times. They did so, not because they were opposed to fun, but because they judged the...

Ultimately, health care fails the most basic test. It's not organized around the needs of the patient.
I try to be careful not to do single concerts where I fly out, do my show, turn around and go home.
