Good company, good wine, good welcome, can make good people.

People need a "Why?". I'm a big fan of Simon Sinek, people need to know why they're doing what they're doing, me included, and they want to work at a company with values and a culture that matches those values and I think that those things matter even in a pure tech company.

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.

Every action in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those present.

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

I'd rather spend half an hour in the company of a top carpenter, than three hours in the company of an average brain surgeon.
