I had dreams of starting a company like Burmah Shell.
When we grew up, we wanted to do two things: to own a sports team and a casino.
Like most business people, I want every aspect of my business to be perfect. I know that this goal is unachievable, but it is nevertheless what I strive to achieve .
I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.
I always knew that I wanted to do something in business and I prepared myself for that.
I don't think I ever dreamt of going into business. No one in my family was in business.
And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part.
I have a business background. I have always wanted to open my own business.
I've never quite been a peer of Donald [Trump]. When I knew him it was more in a social way. We were single at kind of the same time. You know having fun in that sense, but I've watched his career with great admiration, and now to really see him as an employee sees him as an aspirant within the corporate structure of the Trump enterprises is really fascinating.
I always wanted to do creative things, but I was really interested in entrepreneurship. My family comes from a very entrepreneurial culture, so business was always something I was interested in.
Training programs shouldn't be designed to deliver competence; they must be dedicated to producing excellence. Serious organizations don't aspire to be comfortably above average.
Funnily enough, when I was leaving school and they asked you what you were going to do, and I just liked acting, that's never what I would say. I would always say I would go into business, even though I didn't really know what was meant by that.
If an enterprise does not aspire to be the best of its kind, it will attract second-rate employees, and it will be soon forgotten.
