I think most people act in their self-interest.

I do think a key to success in any walk of life is having a short memory and a thick skin - I know it has served me well over the years.

I've always been comfortable thinking things through and doing it, more or less, my way. You can be as creative as you want, but if you're... unwilling to work on the details, to see those put into action, then creativity is just dreams, or worse, hallucinations.

I just wanted to be a businessman, and to me, the best way to understand business was to be an accountant.

Accepting money from the federal government to conduct research places academic inquiry in the service of national interests.

I love fresh flowers for my home. I spend far too much money on them, buying them almost every day.

I make my living by shooting ad-films, and, in fact, that's how I began my career.

I know I make a lot of money, but for me - I came from nothing, so it's always been about the love of the game.
