I've always been comfortable thinking things through and doing it, more or less, my way. You can be as creative as you want, but if you're... unwilling to work on the details, to see those put into action, then creativity is just dreams, or worse, hallucinations.

I think most people act in their self-interest.

Natural gas is a feedstock in basically every industrial process.

I do think a key to success in any walk of life is having a short memory and a thick skin - I know it has served me well over the years.

Natural gas is the one fuel that we have that's affordable, it's scaleable, it can replace coal over time, it can replace imported oil, can create American jobs.

I just wanted to be a businessman, and to me, the best way to understand business was to be an accountant.

I get mad at the New York-based environmentalists because if you were truly environmentalists you wouldn't have a storm surge system and a sanitary system hooked together here that requires you to close your beaches 10 times a year.
