#2Wow, I thought he was full of shit when I heard this years ago, but I still had some respect for the guy.
This is like watching an old Kevin Spacey interview.

At least he's obsessed with his customers, right...?

"Having the courage to live a life true to [oneself] instead of what was expected of [one]" by their society, partners, employees, contractors makes a fine definition of villainy.
