In business, I loved cars. I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning. Only in America can you decide to get a good education and pursue what you like.

You've got to say, "I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it." It's called perseverance.

To succeed today, you have to set priorities, decide what you stand for.

I always go back to Harry Truman: Should we drop an atomic bomb to save 100,000 lives? That's a hell of a decision to make. Did he make that decision by himself? No, he had advisers.

I'm sometimes described as a flamboyant leader and a hip-shooter, a fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants operator. But if that were true, I could never have been successful in this business.

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.
