In New York and Los Angeles, you can throw your car keys to the valet and he parks it. Same in Hong Kong and Singapore, the service is off the scale. In London it’s sub-standard to abysmal.

London has got better as it’s become more international – you only have to look at the quality of the restaurants to see how improved it’s become.

Chris and I came from nothing. We’re selfmade. We started with nothing, so we have nothing to lose. And we have everything to gain.

I get my design inspiration from Christian Dior and Chanel.

Our clients pay for value. London is the top city in the world, the best tax haven in the world for some and the top residential site in the city is One Hyde Park at the top end of Sloane Street.

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…

I have had the top people in the world into One Hyde Park, and they have seen everything and they say there is nothing quite like this.

The way out of the depression is to start spending and doing things.

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

Our modern industrialism, changed to motives of public service, will provide means to remove every injustice that gives soil for prejudice.

Two classes of people lose money; those who are too weak to guard what they have; those who win money by trick. They both lose in the end.

Only one thing makes prosperity, and that is work.

I have very good executives and great children. They’re very good.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

I really don’t retain information – by the time I arrive wherever I’m going, I already forget what it is that I wanted to say.

If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn’t have a job if he was any smarter.

If you change anything about the way you approach selling, the thing that would make the biggest difference would be your attitude, your attitude toward your customer, your service, the benefits of your products, your employer, and yourself.

The best way to make money in business is not to think too much about making it.

I don’t know the rules of grammar. If you’re trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think. We try to write in the vernacular.

Mr. Edison was comfortably well off-he was not a money maker.

They encouraged me to always look for the good in people instead of assuming the worst and trying to find fault.
