I'm a person with a lot of affection for adventure - I scuba dive, skydive, fly helicopters.

I think the U.S. should assert its leadership in a more effective way.

I believe in a real democratic system, with a state of law and freedom of the press. I believe in a free, open-market economy integrated with the world. And I believe in equality of opportunity. Those are my basic beliefs. On top of that, of course, I believe in some moral values.

On one hand, it is very important that democracy and human rights be defended across borders. But it is also very important to respect the right of each country to choose its own path.

In business, every phase of things counts. Companies that just yell out a low price today to win business aren't going to make money in the long term.

My taxes alone keep eight lawyers busy, and when I finally get my money, it's only one-third of what I earn. With the kids in school and my other responsibilities, I get no change back from the first million dollars. The money flows out like water.

I didn't write Feliz Navidad to make a lot of money for me.

International development aid is based on the Robin Hood principle: take from the rich and give to the poor.
