“If you do something that's going to get somebody a job, then they'll b...” — Isabel dos Santos Quote

If you do something that's going to get somebody a job, then they'll be able to pay for their kid's school, and then their kid is going to be a doctor, and then that doctor is going to probably help who knows how many other people, so it's very motivating. Much more fun than going to the beach.

I've had business sense since I was very young. I sold chicken eggs when I was six.

I think there's lots of people with family connections but who are actually nowhere. If you're hard-working and determined, you will make it, and that's the bottom line. I don't believe in an easy way through.

I'm not involved in politics, and I've never had any political role. I've never been in office. I've never taken any public administrative jobs.

The beach and I are two things that get along really well.

It's interesting - the things you remember about Chariots of Fire is the slow running on the beach and the Vangelis music.

Car-essential is a real turn-off to me, so yeah, I just want a friendly holiday resort with a villa and a pool, but which is really private, but there again, there's a supermarket and a doctor's and a beach a five-minute walk away. That's all I want, and it's quite difficult to find.

I do get credit for having a California sound to my music, but I don't think people really know what that means - they think the Beach Boys. I'm thinking more like Sunset Strip in the 1960s and stuff like that.
