All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.

Well, I am a Republican, and I would run as a Republican. And I have a lot of confidence in the Republican Party. I don't have a lot of confidence in the president. I think what's happening to this country is unbelievably bad. We're no longer a respected country.

But I believe in fair trade, and I will tell you, I have many, many friends heading up corporations, and people that do just business in China, they say it's virtually impossible. It's very, very hard to come into China. And yet, we welcome them with open arms.

A little more moderation would be good. Of course, my life hasn't exactly been one of moderation.

Every time you walk down the street people are screaming, 'You're fired!'

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.

I'm a bit of a P. T. Barnum. I make stars out of everyone.

You know the funny thing, I don't get along with rich people. I get along with the middle class and the poor people better than I get along with the rich people.

I saw a report yesterday. There's so much oil, all over the world, they don't know where to dump it. And Saudi Arabia says, 'Oh, there's too much oil.' They - they came back yesterday. Did you see the report? They want to reduce oil production. Do you think they're our friends? They're not our friends.

Everything in life is luck.

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.

You have to think anyway, so why not think big?

I wasn't satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

With out passion you dont have energy, with out energy you have nothing.

I'm the No. 1 developer in New York, I'm the biggest in Atlantic City, and maybe we'll keep it that way.

That's one of the nice things. I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich. So if I need $600 million, I can put $600 million myself. That's a huge advantage. I must tell you, that's a huge advantage over the other candidates.

China gets their oil from Libya. Why isn't China involved? They're going out spending billions of dollars a day on trying to take over the world economically. And we're spending billions and billions and billions of dollars on policing the world. Why isn't China involved with Libya? That - we don't get oil from Libya, China does.

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

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

Do you mind if I sit back a little? Because your breath is very bad.

I think Ronald Reagan was one of the great presidents, period, not just recently. I thought he had the demeanor. I thought he had the bearing. I thought he had the thought process.

Well, real estate is always good, as far as I'm concerned.

If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.

I think Les Moonves is the most highly overrated person in television.

I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.

My big focus is China and OPEC and all of these countries that are just absolutely destroying the United States.

I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

The Arab League tells us to go in and take out Qaddafi. We've spent billions of dollars already with respect to the Arab League. Billions of dollars, because they told us to do it. Why aren't they paying for it? They don't like Qaddafi, Qaddafi's been a terrible thorn in their side.

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

I support health care for people. I want people well taken care of. But I also want health care that we can afford as a country. I have people and friends closing down their businesses because of Obamacare.

It's not like I'm anti-China. I just think it's ridiculous that we allow them to do what they're doing to this country, with the manipulation of the currency, that you write about and understand, and all of the other things that they do.

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

The 1990's sure aren't like the 1980's.

When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

Today, and I'm very strongly against tax increases.

If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.

Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive.

A certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination as a birth certificate.

I could never have imagined that firing 67 people on national television would actually make me more popular, especially with the younger generation.

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.

It's always good to be underestimated.

The first thing the secretary types is the boss.

In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.

Well, yes, I've fired a lot of people. Generally I like other people to fire, because it's always a lousy task. But I have fired many people.

If you look - look at - I mean, look at what's going on with your gasoline prices. They're going to go to $5, $6, $7 and we don't have anybody in Washington that calls OPEC and says, 'Fellas, it's time. It's over. You're not going to do it anymore.'

As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.
