My son is now an 'entrepreneur.' That's what you're called when you don't have a job.

I've never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn't have the right attitude, didn't give it everything he had, at least while he was doing it; wasn't prepared and didn't have the whole program worked out.

I think Captain Cousteau might be the father of the environmental movement.

We have to do more than keep media giants from growing larger; they're already too big. We need a new set of rules that will break these huge companies to pieces.

Sports is like a war without the killing.

I know what I'm having 'em put on my tombstone: 'I have nothing more to say'.

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make money that way. I don't want blood money.

You can never quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.

The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world. I want you to know that we know that.

The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy.

Life is like a B-movie. You don't want to leave in the middle of it but you don't want to see it again.

Every few seconds it changes - up an eighth, down an eighth - it's like playing a slot machine. I lose $20 million, I gain $20 million.

I didn't care what, how much adversity life threw at me. I intended to get to the top.

I don't watch entertainment. I haven't watched in years. I want to see serious news.

I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy.

I have both sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation, which are both debilitating conditions.

I've had the good fortune to have a much more diverse life than most people would, professional sports and television and news and movies.

If the Russian nuclear arsenal was fired at the United States and other targets, and we fired back at them with thousands of nuclear weapons, it would be the end of life on earth.

If you can get yourself where you're not afraid of dying, then you can move forward a lot faster.

Men should be disqualified for public office. Women should run the planet. They're better than us.

The U.N. had such lofty goals to eliminate poverty and stop war and cure diseases and help refugees - things that no one country could do.
