I think you can love more than one child, and we've got to do all these at once. I think there's a store inventory opportunity for us and buying and selling merchandise is hard, by the way.

There's only so much we can do from the home office [Walmart headquarter] to merchandise a store well. If you live in that community and work in that store, you know more about what you should be featuring and the actionality on an end cap than someone from Bentonville, Arkansas does.

My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each others' negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

If you keep your eye on the profit, you're going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.
