I could have easily gone down the wrong path and dropped out of school, but I was given a second chance.

I think a book is your calling card, your business card.
You may lose your wife, you may lose your dog, your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like.
Being an employee is a bad outcome. You want to avoid that. Being an employee is never a good outcome. That's just an opinion.
All we do is bring the debate from both sides, and let you as a viewer decide where you want to end up on the issue. That's very important. That's exactly what happens in 'Redemption Inc.'
When you come to 'Shark Tank,' the only person you should listen to is me, because you know you're getting the truth. I'll decide if it's worth it, and after I'm finished, the rest of the people can look into it.
I'm not trying to make friends, I'm trying to make money.
Don't cry about money, it never cries for you.
I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.
If a man could give birth it would be to a book - it's an 18-month gestation period.
Money equals freedom.
I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.
I'm proud to be on the CBC and to see the management here represents both sides of every story. This is what's unique about the new CBC: you get a Kevin O'Leary on it when five years ago you wouldn't.
I want to go to bed richer than when I woke up. The pursuit of wealth is a wonderful thing, but the thing is you have to be honest about it, you have to tell the truth.
My worst fashion faux pas: probably orange shoes with white pants. I thought I looked spectacular.
Don't call me, I'll call you... I'm out.
People are aware of what I stand for through television. Nobody gets rich on TV but you build brand. That's what I'm attempting to do.
Business is war. I go out there, I want to kill the competitors. I want to make their lives miserable. I want to steal their market share. I want them to fear me and I want everyone on my team thinking we're going to win.
You can't regulate a soul into a business.
There's only one side with me. You get the right side. You get the correct version of the facts.
When you bring an idea that has no merit to me, and you ask me to comment on it, I'm going to tell you it has no merit.
If you want a friend, buy a dog.
Here's how I think of my money - as soldiers - I send them out to war everyday. I want them to take prisoners and come home, so there's more of them.
