I hire people who can do their jobs and who will advise me of things they don't agree with. The worst thing you can do is get in a room with 14 people who say, "OK!" Then you really are making decisions about engineering and finance and other areas.

I've been in entertainment, politics, business, business coaching, public affairs, documentaries, programming, news, theater. So, there aren't many things I see that I haven't seen something like that before.

The thing you always have to remember is, you look at people and they might look like a failure but there's often a narrow thing they do very well.

To be successful, you've got to get the kind of torque that's created by a push and a pull.

I only understand friendship or scorched earth.

In general, I think man-on-the- street ads and endorsement spots are having less and less effect on people. The electorate's getting very sophisticated, and they want to make their own judgments.

When a guy has his ego hurt, he's liable to jump into a fight he doesn't need to have.
