On Principles & Values: Chose 16-hour day work instead of personal life

Q: You are known for your 16-hour days and seven-day-a-week work ethic. Has it been worth it? Do you regret never having married and not having started a family?

A: This work is very personal -- it is my personal life. If you love your work, you don't divide life into impersonal work and personal enjoyment. Of course, you >can't have it all. I don't believe in being an absentee father, so I had to choose.
