Luck does not come around often. So when it does, be sure to take full advantage of it, even if it means working very hard. When luck is on your side it is not the time to be modest or timid. It is the time to go for the biggest success you can possibly achieve. That is the true meaning of thinking big.

There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely.

You’re having a lot of fun, right? Suppose Hillary got elected instead of Trump, you think it would be so exciting?

We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

Success comes from failure, not from memorizing the right answers.

If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?

It’s true we’ve got some fantastic clients. We’re very fortunate to be connected with the movers and shakers of all the global cities of the world. You can usually tell when we’ve got a client in here because their bodyguards are all over the place: two outside the front door, two in the lobby, one in the lift…

Depressions aren’t acts of God; like wars, they are the work of a small group of men who profit by them.

I always look at it that I work with my employees as opposed to them working for me.

Salesmanship is limitless. Our very living is selling. We are all salespeople.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.

Our aim is to compete with any luxury brand. Candy & Candy will be a luxury brand, recognised in Rodeo Drive, New York, Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo and London. Those are the major centres in the world. It will be synonymous with the design of homes, houses, flats, yachts, aircraft and retail.

I live on a plane. I like to visit London. If I had to think where I could live if not Moscow, London would be my first choice, and second would be New York. In Moscow I feel most comfortable. I’m used to four different seasons; it’s difficult for people in London to understand. People brought up in Russia like my kids want to play in the snow.

I did not feel ‘evil’ when I wrote advertisements for Puerto Rico. They helped attract industry and tourists to a country which had been living on the edge of starvation for 400 years.

I think I’ve got the best staff in television.

Clock watchers never seem to be having a good time.
