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 put the sweat of my life into this project, and if it's a failure, I'll leave the country and never come back.

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

Do the impossible, because almost everyone has told me my ideas are merely fantasies.

I'm not a paranoid deranged millionaire.

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.

Play off everyone against each other so that you have more avenues of action open to you.
