BEST MOMENTS

1. "Sometimes in life, you've got to take risks. Sometimes you've got to get out of your own way. And people want the reward, but they're not willing to put energy in, or effort or take the risk."
2. "I think it was, was it Dyson did 238, prototypes before he sent out his first Hoover, or vacuum cleaner. So come on, we can do it, you know."
3. "I hate quotas. We should never be a quota. We should be there, because we bring something different to the boardroom. We bring a different feel."
4. "I think, I think we've, we've, we've said some you've got to get the right people on the bus and the wrong people off the bus. I know that sounds very, very straightforward, but it is, get the right people on and, you know, and get out of thinking that I've got to be good at everything."
