Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

If your desk isn't cluttered, you probably aren't doing your job.

The best way to inspire people to superior performance is to convince them by everything you do and by your everyday attitude that you are wholeheartedly supporting them.

I didn't handle success all that well.

As soon as I accomplish one goal, I replace it with another one. I try not to get too far ahead of myself. I just say to myself, 'All right, well, I'd like to headline a tour,' and then when I get there, we'll see what my next goal is.

I learned from my first restaurant: Make customers happy, make sure the customer comes back again. And automatically, success has followed me.

We're looking for people out there who have demonstrated that they are leaders, have track records of achievement, and want to be part of a force... of a much larger force of determined people who want to bring about, ultimately, institutional change.
