I've given away tens of millions of dollars over the years - probably to almost every charity in Australia.

I believe you should help people.

At the end of the day, the more quality individuals you develop in the community, the better off the community should be.

The internet thing is what I have the greatest problem with. I don't know if anyone in the media gets the internet thing and Harvey Norman. I think they have some strange interpretation of it that bears no resemblance to what actually happens.

Importantly, I still give money to homeless people - and all other charities.

If I think something is right, I'll fight for it - always have. If it's wrong or I've been proved wrong, I'll walk away, and I'll apologise.

The people I know who have retired, so many of them lose interest and die; they just become nobodies overnight.

I had a trial run with Norman Ross for 21 years, from '61 to '82. I didn't have it in mind to open a chain like Harvey Norman. I opened one shop, but then the next thing you know, I've got another shop and then another shop.

That's not in my nature to run away - I'll stand up and fight.

Everybody, be they female, whatever your religion, whatever your nationality, you're an individual, and if you perform well, we want you, and if you don't, we don't.
