Dedicating myself to actually following through was my single biggest achievement.

I'll let myself obsess over things.

Disney produces fabulous movies around certain characters, and then they commercialize that engagement through toys, books, cruises.

When I got out of college, I gave myself till I was 30 to invent a product. If I couldn't do it by then, I would just get a real job. And that fear - the fear of a real job - motivated me to be an entrepreneur.

When I have a difficult decision to make, I imagine myself as a 90-year-old guy looking back on his life. I imagine what I'll think about myself at that point in time, and it always makes it really easy to go for it. You're only going to regret that you wimped out.

Actually, I think the biggest at-bat of that whole inning was Quintero's, ... He got the single up the middle, and we went first-to-third there. Now, we got first and third and nobody out. We got pressure on them. That was a big spot in the game to come up with that hit up the middle with two strikes.
