- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The best thing about being immensely wealthy is not having to be in any particular place at any particular time doing a particular task you don't want to do.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The beginnings of a forest is one of the ugliest things on the planet. It's bleak and your neighbours hate you.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I thoroughly object to getting old. If you could let me be 16 again, I'd give you everything I've got and everything I'll ever have.
- Many
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never sue journalists. I employ journalists. I employ too many of them. I don't sue journalists.
- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are jobs, particularly database-oriented ones, for which computers are necessary, but for everyday office life, I question whether they have brought the productivity that their enormous cost, up to £10,000 per person, demands.
- Copies
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Computers are wasteful of paper and time. Once, we'd get documents with a few errors. Now, people make hundreds of copies until each sheet is flawless and memos are duplicated endlessly. Managers get swamped with emails.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The richer you are and the more financial advisers you employ, the less likelihood there is that you can ever discover what you are really worth.
- Others
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The rich are not a contented tribe. The demands from others to share their wealth become so tiresome, so insistent, they often decide they must insulate themselves. Insulation eventually breeds a mild form of paranoia.
- Rich
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is never a time in a company's history when cost control can be relegated to the back burner, but for a startup company, keeping costs low is a vital necessity.
- Failure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Overhead will eat you alive if not constantly viewed as a parasite to be exterminated. Never mind the bleating of those you employ. Hold out until mutiny is imminent before employing even a single additional member of staff. More startups are wrecked by overstaffing than by any other cause, bar failure to monitor cash flow.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Very, very few entrepreneurs who accept a 51 percent partner in a new venture will get rich if they are also expected to run it. Control is mandatory.
- Free Verse
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The vast majority of free verse is ghastly. Utterly ghastly. No one reads it. No one listens to it.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hear poets complaining: 'We face what our forebears did not face. We face TV. We face radio. We face this and that.'
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

America is not the center of the universe.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Great Expectations' has been described as 'Dickens's harshest indictment of society.' Which it is. After all, it's about money. About not having enough money; about the fever of the getting of money; about having too much money; about the taint of money.
- Beginning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the end, the railroads made America and nanotech will make the 21st century, and that is the end of the story. The beginning of the story and the end of the story.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America, ladies and gentlemen, has done more for me financially than Britain ever has, or ever could have done.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're writing, you're in a totally different zone... I can start a difficult poem and look up at the clock and see to my astonishment that three hours have passed.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die - and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20 to 30,000 acres.
- See
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I see something that's wrong, I just speak and act first and I'll take the consequences later.
- Oldest
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Poetry is one of the oldest of all art forms, and one of its powers for shamans and tribal leaders was the mnemonic.
- Greenpeace

- Nov 07, 2020
The planet doesn't require saving, and actually hasn't asked Greenpeace to save it.
- Changing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The climate has been changing since there was a climate.
- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can collect all the plastic bottle caps you want as long as you give me the money so we can get off this death trap, find somewhere else and have tremendous fun screwing that up as well.
- Decide
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's kind of a crazy thing to decide that you're going to be worth tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars and set out to do that. It doesn't suit everybody.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.
- Fair Share
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You shouldn't go around the world behaving ruthlessly when you don't have to. Sometimes you do have to. There is only so much pie to go around. If you're going to take more than your fair share of pie, as socialists would look at it, then someone else is not getting his. That means you've got to take it away from them.
- Guise
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This modern mania for interfering in other's lives, usually under the guise of health and safety concerns, is highly irritating and counterproductive. Down with the nanny state.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I couldn't care less what anyone's 'perception' of me is. I'm too long in the tooth to care.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With the greatest of respect, I have watched Apple from the day it started. I was publishing magazines about the Apple II before most people had ever heard what a personal computer was.
- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nobody could like Donald Trump, surely, except his mother. No one really likes The Donald. But how can you not have respect for a guy who's been down on the floor and just keeps coming back? Nothing will keep Donald Trump down until they drive a wooden stake in his heart and a silver bullet in his brain.
- Night
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Discourse has ended in America. It's all just shouting and ranting and demonization. Do you know how the rest of the world laughs at you guys? Have you got any idea? They're just rocking with laughter night and day.
- Pleasure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm very proud of the fact that I'm one of Britain's biggest selling poets. That gives me a huge amount of pleasure.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Publishing magazines for yourself is not good business, man.
- Charity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'The Week' is my favourite magazine. Everyone from presidents to CEOs of companies love it, politicians, people in the massive charity business in America, in the arts and even more especially in the media.
- Live

You don't have to live in a garage to write great poetry.

Human beings are definitely changing the planet, but how much impact they are having on climate, I don't know and I don't care.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a long, slow sunset for ink-on-paper magazines, but sunsets can produce vast sums of money.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have been portrayed by actors in three television documentaries, two plays, one musical and a film. It's no fun watching yourself being traduced and imitated by an actor.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to prove that if you write in strict meter and rhyme about subjects people care about, they will buy poetry.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You cannot be seeking yourself when you're making money.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have an over-attachment to precision, which is why I've sold more magazines than any man alive.
- Person
- |

No poetry that I'm aware of, however bad or glorious, has ever left somebody a worse person than they were before they read it.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People who get trapped in the tunnel vision of making money think that is all there is to life.
- Disseminate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With a poetry book I can send 100 copies out to reviewers and other people, and even do it in advance and get their response. It's difficult with iPad: how do you send it out for free, and how do you even disseminate it before it goes into their store?
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm an entrepreneur, a businessman. I've got a lot of money, and that doesn't go very well with the whole 'starving artist in a garret' routine.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The reason I don't carry a mobile phone is I don't want people to know where I am!
