“Good grooming is integral and impeccable style is a must. If you don't...” — Daymond John Quote

Good grooming is integral and impeccable style is a must. If you don't look the part, no one will want to give you time or money.

I've come to learn that my initial investment is more about the person versus the product that I am buying into. I've also learned that I really do enjoy giving worthy people an opportunity of a lifetime.

I'm the kind of person that when I saw a lack of African Americans in the apparel business, that was something I set out to do, and I lead by example.

In the founders, I look for a person I feel is trustworthy, driven and smart. I invest in the person first, because in the event the business fails, the person and I can move forward and create another business.

Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.

Money differs from an automobile or mistress in being equally important to those who have it and those who do not.

I know what I want, and the performance side is more important than ticking the money box.

But if I didn't have to make money, I would still play my horn.

It seems only reasonable that the people have a right to know virtually everything about the personality they are buying each time they put their money through the box office.
