We have to still develop the IKEA group. We need many billions of Swiss francs to take on China or Russia.

I’m not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don’t have time for dying.

Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels.

I don’t want a flashy car, just something that would allow me to stop using the Tube. And it would be good not to have to rely on my mum all the time, particularly when I have to listen to her singing in her car.
