After 9/11, people were saying, 'Perhaps I shouldn't be spending so much time at work', 'Perhaps I should be putting more into my important relationships'.

Today it's all about going for gold as an individual and the relationship often becomes a secondary thing.

You have to work hard, especially being short and people saying I can't make it,

I don't think so. We haven't even had a (furniture) market like this in a long time. People keep saying you should stay open, but we'd be back in the same place in six months.

The difference this time is people are saying (the oil shortage) is going to go away.

We do want people going to work the next day, going to school the next day, saying, 'Did you see that last night?' because that is good TV.
