Perhaps Thomson's philosophies about life can best be summed up by this quotation, taken from a 2006 New York Times interview: "When you try to live a more balanced life, traditional businessmen think that you are not a real man. But who is not the real man? You are telling me?

And here you are telling me that I am weak?"
