I want to go to bed richer than when I woke up. The pursuit of wealth is a wonderful thing, but the thing is you have to be honest about it, you have to tell the truth.

The practical reality of managing cars in the family - I do 36-month leases. I think they're horrible investments. And you want to give them back after their warranty is over.

Until Americans feel that their core asset - their homes - are stabilized, they are not going to have the animal spirits and they will continue to have less buying power.

I keep anywhere between 5-10 percent of my net worth in venture ideas.

I'm not trying to make friends, I'm trying to make money.

I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.

Don't cry about money, it never cries for you.
