It's Lord Alan Sugar's 70th birthday. Here are some quotes from the straight-talking businessman famous for Amstrad and The Apprentice UK.
- She’ll walk over anybody, chew them up for breakfast and spit them out. That’s what I like about her.
- When I first started out, I wasn’t interested in making a million, I wasn’t thinking about getting a knighthood. It was about getting some wheels. I wanted a car.
- On paper you all look good, but so does fish and chips.
- Put your loved ones, not your profit margin, centre stage.
- Don’t start telling me that you’re just like me, because no one’s like me; I’m unique.
- All I’ve heard from you so far is a lot of hot air, so in the interests of climate change you’re fired.
- Fair? The only fair you’re gonna get is your bloody train fare home.
- Don’t worry if you make mistakes because that’s how most people learn.
- I know the words to Candle in the Wind – it don’t make me Elton John.
- Let your opponent win something… I realised that it’s no good boxing people into a corner; if you really want to succeed, you need to let them win a little and leave them with a nice way out.
