It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.

You've got to love what you do to really make things happen.

I am brave, but I take a view. It is an educated view. I am careful. I am not reckless.

I think I pick more winners than losers.

I'm in the retail business, not the circus business.

I could have closed down bits of British Home Stores to make more money but it's not my style. I want to make my money as a retailer, not by putting people out of work.
