I like to come up first of all with a free idea, thinking about and obviously understanding what is necessary for it to become a car.

I've always wanted to design a Mustang. I just never really had the opportunity in my career because the timing was never right.

I used to have to pick up the phone and talk to people who placed orders for the car. When you reach a certain size, you need to have processes in place.

The car is the most regulated thing in the world. It's more complicated to make a car than it is to send a rocket to space.

A liberal is a man who is willing to spend somebody else's money.

The first house I bought was a little Spanish bungalow on Clinton Street in West Hollywood, right behind the Improv. I was renting it, and I asked the owners if I could buy it, and they were really nice and let me work out a deal. And I fixed it up and later sold it. That was when I realized that if you make some improvements, you can make money.

One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up for missing out on my childhood. But the idea of money - putting a price on your childhood - is ridiculous. You will never get those years back and you can't put a price on them.

He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.
