Taking on the media is something I would never tell a candidate to do. I'd advise him what I would do in that circumstance, but that's about it.

Almost everything I do is related to my ability to hire good people. I don't take much of the credit myself. I think I have a good eye.

I love rich people. Any time I needed a job, I went to a rich person. I like poor people, but they never had a job for me.

I only understand friendship or scorched earth.

The candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face al Qaeda.

There's something about the American people: They have such an innate sense of fairness that the red light goes on and the bells go off the second you approach that line. Any kind of personal attack is verboten. You shouldn't do it; it's not worth it.

It's better to be in charge of change than to have to react to change.
