I'm very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill - I want to be a director and I've already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It's something very personal to me.
I actually build my dreams around the dancers I've got in my company.
I'm really not for famous people who design a line for a company when you know it's not really them creating it but a team of designers especially when there are so many talented people who've taken the time to go and study fashion.
At our company our Design and Construction Consulting Service Team not only helps eliminate the risks inherent in the construction process they typically save our clients 5% - 10% on overall construction costs. They also help make sure projects come in on time.
A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with that have been trained in my vision and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.

I absolutely love working with my dad because there is such an ease about it and I also love his company.
Growing up my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say 'Hey come see my play ' he'd say 'Sure.' He'd see one 'Oh good play' - you know very typical dad reaction.
A company that pays attention to the family unit is a successful company. We don't isolate the family. We don't make rides that say 'Hey mom dad you go sit on the bench.'
