I was very fortunate in my gene mix. The gambling instincts I inherited from my father were matched by my mother's gift for analysis.

Don't get the idea that I've turned green. My business is making money, and I think this is going to make a lot of money.

We've got all these politicians talking about better health care and what all, but believe me, we're not going to have the money to take care of sick people.. or anyone else as far as I'm concerned.. if we don't fix our energy problem right now. I've got an idea what to do. It might not be a perfect idea, but hell, none of my best ideas have been perfect.

The older I get, the more I see a straight path where I want to go. If you're going to hunt elephants, don't get off the trail for a rabbit.

You give the money where you want it.

I don't go looking for somewhere to spend my money. You can step on a tube of toothpaste for a week, if you have to. I spend what I need to and give it away.

When you look at a commodities market you need hedgers and speculators. If you don't have one, you don't have a market. That's how it works.
