I've lived the American Dream and had a great life. Immigration and religion and racial tolerance are the foundation of this country.
When I got there, there were two sides: business and football. Business I understand. It was pretty obvious to me what we had to do. But the football side was like the Holy Grail.
I believe the term 'head coach' has been misunderstood, though not by Slavisa nor nearly every one of the other candidates we interviewed. Slavisa avidly embraces the concept of head coach, which is to be on the pitch, training, organising, planning, and everything that comes in preparing for and leading the Club on match day.
Basically, what I want to share with the Jacksonville fans is, here I am, reporting for duty and ready to serve the fans. Let the fun begin.
People will stop me on the street, and they know - Jaguars. It's a certain street recognition we didn't have years ago.
I don't think it's any different if I'm in the U.S. or in London. I look at operations globally.
We have made a great effort to stabilize the Jaguars, and London has played a key part in that. We see the Jaguars as an engine and catalyst for the overall growth of Jacksonville, and I believe we have proven our commitment beyond a doubt.
I discovered the Four Seasons brand many years ago. There is a certain magic.
This is a partnership really with the fans. They have to come and support the team.
I can help as chairperson, and Fulham can help our NFL effort. Collectively, these synergies will help everybody.
I own two species of the raptors - Falco peregrinus and Falco biarmicus.
The concept of head coach simply means being hyperfocused on the pitch and team performance.
You go through life and learn valuable lessons.
In the auto industry, I spent years perfecting processes. Now, the successes and failures don't get the kind of publicity obviously NFL football does.
Throwing money on the fire is normally not the solution to every problem. You put the fire out by listening to the people who are smarter than you are.
In just my interaction, I go to factories, and I talk to our employees. And in Canada, they have had a least a year or two more education. It's like, almost, I never run into anybody who hasn't finished high school. And in the United States, you have a lot who dropped out of 11th grade or whatever.
Toronto is a world-class city. You don't have a debate here about immigration because you need it to just maintain your pensions: that's dependent on people coming in to fund that. And again, I don't want to be controversial, but I think the average education level in Canada is probably higher than in the United States.
Urban living is an intersection of business and personal life.
Washing dishes gave me the sense of empowerment and feeling that I control my destiny.
In a way, NAFTA is like a scrambled egg. How do you unscramble an egg? The value chains are so interwoven that it would be very difficult to do that. But government policies force us to look for ways to unscramble it.
