My father, being a Scotsman, taught me to look after finances. I'm shrewd. Some people may call me tight.
I'm shrewd about money; I invest well and look after it. But it's in my nature to be generous. I look after people.

You learn a lot about yourself doing physical work.
You know, it's just my dream came true.
