Whatever qualities the rich may have, they can be acquired by anyone with the tenacity to become rich.

For me, temptation is life and I have a gargantuan appetite for everything.

I have been portrayed by actors in three television documentaries, two plays, one musical and a film. It's no fun watching yourself being traduced and imitated by an actor.

You shouldn't go around the world behaving ruthlessly when you don't have to. Sometimes you do have to. There is only so much pie to go around. If you're going to take more than your fair share of pie, as socialists would look at it, then someone else is not getting his. That means you've got to take it away from them.

Rich people always have a certain degree of debt. Apparently it helps to reduce taxes. I'm not so hot on the bean-counting side.

You can actually be bored stiff while you're dying.

People who get trapped in the tunnel vision of making money think that is all there is to life.
