When I travel, I just take what I need and I run. I always have my briefcase stuffed with work, even when I go on a holiday.

If I'm on holiday, I travel light, but if it is a work trip, I take everything but the kitchen sink.

Status based on wealth is an old-fashioned idea; I find it repugnant, actually.

My best vacation was renting a boat and motoring along the Adriatic, going along the Croatian coast, before it became so fashionable. I've also sailed around the Turkish islands, the Greek islands and Sicily.

I have to be more universal than my projects, but no less innovative.

The trimmings of wealth are not as important to me and my generation as they were to my parents' generation.
