Quotes
“I think that too often as we age and get older, we lose the ability to dream. And one thing my father instilled in us was to not lose that ability. And so, I’ve been a dreamer.” (11:04)
“How can I use this wealth, how can I use this access, how can I use this authority and power to make the lives of people better? And if I’m not doing that, then what good am I? Right? What value do I have? And so for me, it is how do I use these blessings to make life better and to have an impact on their lives. And that’s what drives me.” (14:31)
