BEST MOMENTS

"So the only way we can make this work is I become equity in my equity sweat, and I make this work for you, but you cut me in the deal."

"So the offer's been concluded. It's been accepted and concluded. So we've now got to put the meat on the bones and take it from there."

"If I can teach you anything about developments, it's never, ever give up. Keep going. If you've got a dream, if you've got a belief, keep going, keep at it."
