I'm not running for office. I don't have to be politically correct. I don't have to be a nice person. Like I watch some of these weak-kneed politicians, it's disgusting. I don't have to be that way.

It's always interesting to watch people who have been incredibly successful in their own businesses work in a group made up of equally strong personalities. It takes a special kind of leader who can effectively manage a team of veritable strangers and find the best way to get strong, winning performances from them.

Many people don't have the ability to be rich, because they're too lazy or they don't have the desire or the stick-to-itiveness. It's a talent. Some people have a talent for piano. Some people have a talent for raising a family. Some people have a talent for golf. I just happen to have a talent for making money.

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.

With out passion you don't have energy, with out energy you have nothing.

One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don't go into government.

It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

I mean, there's no arguing. There is no anything. There is no beating around the bush. 'You're fired' is a very strong term.
