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.

I'm not a paranoid deranged millionaire.

I wanted to see New York . . . so I tried to see how fast I could do it in.

Once you consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things back the way they are.

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

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

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