“My art teacher was really encouraging me, because he really liked that...” — Maria Cornejo Quote

“My art teacher was really encouraging me, because he really liked that I could draw. I felt very torn. At that time, I had to pick one, and I felt much more confident in the arts than I did in chemistry. My big thing was that I actually wanted to be like Jacques Cousteau.”

“I'm not one for conventional wisdom. I founded my label in 1998, but after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, my Japanese backers pulled out, and I couldn't afford to produce the line myself. I needed fresh ideas from someone who understood technology, since that was the direction the business was going.”

“I realised I was a 'star' when my first film Dil Deke Dekho was released after being rejected before. It was a very big thing for me.”

“In golf, advice is not a big thing. If you don't have the ability, you won't get anywhere no matter how much advice you get. The only thing people can suggest that matters is, be a good person and treat people respectfully. But advice on your game doesn't mean much to me.”

“I think that confidence is a big thing. It's being comfortable, feeling comfortable, managing your schedule.”
