Quotes:
“If I had all the time, all the money, what would I love to do?”
“I didn't become hard. I remain soft and gentle and caring, but you become so strong and things have got to be so hard for me to take notice that it's difficult when people complain or whine about certain things in their lives. And I find it difficult to relate because my reality was so extreme.”
“Nature allowed me to go within. And that is basically when we talk about everything is within us, happiness is within us. Our love is within us. So I went inside because everything outside wasn't pleasant. So by going inside, I created my imaginary world.”
“We as human beings are so simple, we just want to be noted and loved. So you feed them, and you give them love and warmth in your house. That's it, they don't need anything else. That's all they needed.”
“I didn't want our guest experience to feel like a hotel. I wanted to meet different people from different parts of the globe, and I wanted to share our journey with them.”
“Living in all those different countries with different cultures allowed me to be very understanding and respectful of cultures and being very open.”
“The Weeknd has this great song, ‘I Feel It Coming’. And for me, I always see something amazing coming. It always makes me smile, because that's exactly what I see. I always had something amazing coming… No matter how bad my life has been, I'll always see something amazing coming.”
