I like to see things start, grow, and then move on to better things.

It's the people who work hard and earn big that keep the machine tipping for everybody else. If everybody else was equal down the bottom rung of a ladder, nobody would be on the ladder at all because it would break and everybody would fall off backwards. So you need people at the top to help pull those people up from the bottom. You can't take that and swing to the right. You can't have everybody living in the same ordinary $60,000 house because you may as well live in Russia, Bulgaria or some other Eastern block Communist nation.

I'm convinced that if the same opportunities were made available to everybody, people would want to better their lot in life.

The path that we are headed on economically in America is one that leads to total ruination of the American system.

In Italy, they add work and life on to food and wine.

Whoever would have guessed that in the land of cheap sausages and mashed potatoes there could be such a change which would actually bring the French from Paris every weekend to invade Britain en masse to eat great food and drink great wine.

Celebrities are nowhere as rich as some people think they are.
