A lot of airlines have come and gone.

We tried to set up a company that patterned ourselves after Southwest in all the fun, the spirit, the great people, the smile, the efficiency side of it, but we've added some extras that people aren't used to finding on Southwest.

Of course, we should all be aware of what we're packing in our carry-on luggage - anything that might be considered dangerous could be confiscated at a security checkpoint.

Just keep thinking about the good side of ADD - the creativity and the originality it can stimulate.

I also really like getting to know our crew members better.

Be it $15 million here and $11 million there, it takes hundreds of millions to be successful in this business.

We're reviewing everything to see how we can do it better, faster, and more efficiently.

People were desperately trying to fill their seats for the summer. And so prices are really low right now. And so they are kept from raising prices to make up for that difference.

The Blackberry is really essential for keeping up on my emails when I'm out of the office, which is a lot.

This is not a business where you can hand off and run by remote control.

Certainly, we are hurt by the high fuel prices because it raises our cost.

I'm always crunching numbers, so my calculator watch is a must.

I actually thrive on all the challenges, and I don't feel like ADD has impaired my ability.

We don't want a third party who may or may not have our best interests in mind or our crew members' best interests in mind because they may be serving a union of one of our competitors. They are trying to equalize us and take away our competitive advantage.

I really see low-fare carriers, quality low-fare carriers anyway, continuing to become more and more popular.

Value will always be on top of everyone's lists now, right along with safety.

Seat assignment didn't matter if you're flying Dallas to Houston and you did it 38 times a day. People just got on, you didn't sit next to your wife, and it was a 45-minute flight. It didn't matter.

And, of course, customers really need to feel safe and are seeking reassurance when they fly.

Our people get profit-sharing checks. I got a report the other day that says that 84 percent of our people participate in our stock purchase program, where they can buy stock at a 15 percent discount.

And you've got to remember that I'm also the father of nine children.

We are just interested in dealing with the people we're paying every day. We know federal law allows them to vote in a union at anytime, but we think we can resist that by talking to our own people and giving them enough upside.

I think they got caught up in how much money they could get from each of the city governments as far as tax rebates. But that stuff works when you make money. It's a little bit phantom money.

It's so important to experience what your customers are experiencing and listen to their suggestions.

I believe the public's confidence would be increased if the federal government took over the functions of airport security screening for all passengers.

What you can't buy is the loyalty that comes through our dedicated crewmembers.

Comparison will strip you of power of grace and influence. Each person is unique. How then can you possibly compare unique to unique You cant. And when you try you annihilate your brilliance.

I don't know how you can go your whole life and not listen once to Bob Marley - what's the point?

We're failing when it comes to controlling spending.

As far as I'm concerned I've never had a problem with anybody, no rivalry.

It is a rule of law alone which hinders the rulers from turning themselves into the worst gangsters.

You often hear people say 'Luck is self made.' I think it is, to a certain extent; if you work hard on something, you are more likely to be lucky than if you don't. That having been said, I do believe during in my career I have been at the right place at the right time with the right people.

I have a radio show/podcast called 'The Cryptid Factor,' which is about the search for creatures that may or may not exist.

The way of the troublemaker is thorny.

Enlightenment is the key to everything and it is the key to intimacy because it is the goal of true authenticity.

I do not mind having written the song at all. I just wish that I had written it in a different key, as the high d is hard to play. I am glad that I wrote something that brought joy to millions of people.

I already have enough apparel businesses that are either doing well or not really doing anything at all, and I'm looking to broaden my portfolio.

The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.

I don't ever do those kind of epic, huge, green-screen movies.

It has a Nazi echo, doesn't it? The Jews had to wear that Star of David, and Donald Trump is saying all Syrians have to carry an ID card and they can, without warrant, go into any Syrian's home or a mosque.

In the theater, you didn't have any marks. Your instincts in rehearsal told you what the blocking was. On film, they reversed it. They decided ahead of time what your instincts were, before you even arrived.

There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.

I kind of go for the MGM version of every musical style.

If I lose, then I have to accept that my way of writing books is not the way society says it's okay to write.

Everybodys got a past. The past does not equal the future unless you live there.

I would like to get married, but it must be a man who is part of my work, or me part of his.

When people are in love, I don't see anything wrong with it in the world. If they choose to live their lives and get married, why should we interfere? A lot of people don't agree with me, but that's how I feel.

Wildlife needs wilderness-not just to survive, but also to live freely. Sadly, many species struggle to survive due to increased human activity and expansion into habitats they call home.
