I think it's very important to have the stewardship of a company by a family member.

I think if you're young and you're being compared with a successful family member, it's really hard to maintain any sense of self-worth and credibility.

We have a huge family history with Singapore because we have the duty-free shops in the airports. It's a very industrious city. It's beautiful, and Singaporeans have this wonderful desire for, and love of, luxury goods. You can see how well thought out and planned the city is with the best boutiques.

I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.

Anyone who has ever gone through anything like that, or lost a friend or a family member, they know that it's never going to leave you. But at the same time it gets better, and as time goes on it gets better.

I think, in real life, when we're facing death - that is, when we come out on the other side of it, whether it's death of a friend or a family member - you come out on the other side of the mourning cherishing your life that much more.
