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

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.

In order to make further progress, particularly in the field of cosmic rays, it will be necessary to apply all our resources and apparatus simultaneously and side-by-side; an effort which has not yet been made, or at least, only to a limited extent.

Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake, and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature and world politics.

In an interesting inversion of status, the reigning breed in the dog park these days is the really-oddball-unidentifiable-mixed-breed-mutt-found-wandering-the-street or its equivalent. The stranger the mutt the better; the more peculiar the circumstance of it coming into your life, the better.

If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.

I was beginning to think I was typecast in everyone's mind out there as a serial killer. I played a serial killer in one movie, I was the ghost of a serial killer in another and in a third, a computer-generated serial killer. The stage looks pretty good after those roles.

Have you ever heard the expression 'one hot mess?' I think the term was custom-made for the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford.

You need to feel beautiful on your own before a guy can make you feel beautiful because it wont be a healthy relationship.

I always wanted to ride a dragon myself, so I decided to do this for a year in my imagination.

If you go in and audition for roles rather than just be offered them, then you kind of get a chance to kind of discover that you can do something that you didn't think you could do.

I always say that I'm at my best when there's no example of what the character is supposed to be. I thrive when there's not much and I have to create it.

I'm so old, I don't buy green bananas any more.

I think the older you are, the more you're going to cling to the printed word as being sacred.

I guess art itself is insane. Its actual function is rarely clear, and yet people give their hearts and souls and lives to it, and have for all of history.

I think when you get people who are really talented and you take them out of their comfort zone, you get a lot more out of them.

You start where you can get an opportunity, you take everything that you can do to gain entrance. You do the little work and you try to find people who can teach you.

In a well-functioning democracy, citizens have the option of voting their political masters out of office. Not so in most companies.

Most great entrepreneurs I know are nothing like the other kids. They're almost like tangent lines - those lines that seem to go nowhere. Nothing connects them, until they get out in the real world. Then they connect just fine.

There is an attraction for you which does not exist for me, since I do not feel any pleasure. You see, we are making a bargain. You give me a dream, I give you joy. But all this is not love.

I admire all people who are trying to be a good power in this chaotic world.

We know Zika's not going to go on vacation.

I've never turned down a fight in the UFC. Even when I was champ, I never turned down a fight.

I'd rather live my life knowing that I'm not perfect than spend my whole life pretending to be.

We are too often double espresso followers of a decaf Sovereign.
