I want to be remembered for only one thing: my contribution to aviation.

If I have made a mistake in the design, then I'm the one who should pay for it. I certainly would not ask somebody else to fly a plane if I were afraid to do it myself.

I'm not a paranoid deranged millionaire.

Passion will make you crazy, but is there any other way to live?

We don't have a monopoly. Anyone who wants to dig a well without a Hughes bit can always use a pick and shovel.

I intend to be the greatest golfer in the world, the finest film producer in Hollywood, the greatest pilot in the world, and the richest man in the world.

Every man has his price, or a guy like me couldn't exist.
