To people who want to be rich and famous, I'd say, "Get rich first and see if that doesn't cover it."

So far, I've only sailed in the Caribbean. I've sailed the Virgin Island and The Grenadines. I liked all that. We charted some really crummy boats in the Grenadines. That made for an exciting sailing trip (laughs) when everything goes well. When everything goes well. When sails rip, engines freeze up and you find there are organisms growing inside the diesel, it's terrible and amazing stuff.

The human condition means that we can zone out and forget what the hell we're doing.

There's only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing. Sometimes you can avoid a traffic violation. But the only time it really matters is in the emergency room with your kids. That's when you want to be noticed, because it's very easy to get forgotten in an ER.

You work, you get paid, you drink.

Half of the people in this room are more dressed up than on any other day in the year, and the other half are more dressed down.

Here's the thing, you just have to drive a lot faster, and if you don't get there, we're both fired.
