Ted Turner

I like Obama. I don't know who could do a better job. He's got an incredibly tough situation, and a good heart and mind. I'd like to see him rally support a little better.

My son is now an 'entrepreneur.' That's what you're called when you don't have a job.

I lost 80 percent of my wealth and then gave away over half of the rest. So I'm a man of modest means now. But if you budget carefully and watch your expenditures, you can get by on a couple billion dollars.

The U.N. had such lofty goals to eliminate poverty and stop war and cure diseases and help refugees - things that no one country could do.

You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for.

The biggest thing I learned from losing? Winning's better.

I like snakes. I like hummingbirds. There's nothing on earth I don't like. Frogs. Salamanders. The bunnies, the giraffes, the hippopotamuses.

Men should be disqualified for public office. Women should run the planet. They're better than us.

I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can't really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work - making an investment in the future of humanity.

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make money that way. I don't want blood money.

I'm hard of hearing. I miss a lot. It's really tough.

There's nothing wrong with being fired.
