No matter how good you are how brave you are or anything it comes down to that car so many times. Not every time but so many times.

There are certain times I don't want my picture taken. If my wife's stepping out of a car and it looks like it's going to come out an indecent picture don't I have a right to object?

Sometimes when my wife and I were going out to dinner I would take my laptop with me and work in the car so as to take advantage of the half hour going and coming.

Sometimes I wish I could drive a car but I'm gonna drive a car one day so I don't worry about that.

At least 50 times. I've jumped off a building jumped off a cliff in a car. I've been in bedrooms when women came in with knives and guns.

I've crashed my car three times.

I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them.

Writing fiction is for me a fraught business an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.

How many times have you been out for a beer or dinner and people are coming up with business ideas? Everybody wants to think they've got that great business idea.

I became a larger than life figure for one reason only. When you're quoted in the 'Wall Street Journal ' the 'New York Times ' constantly as the expert in the business people assume you're a lot bigger than you are. And then I had to run like hell to catch up with my own image.

In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it's all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.

The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.

I've made movies that I thought were good. I've made movies that I thought were okay but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think I wish more people saw that - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.

Rarely in modern times has there been such a revolution in commercial sentiment as occurred in 2008 or such a display in government and business of panic and helplessness.

I think in politics in Congress you often do things that are Republican or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good obviously and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.

You know every family and every business in California knows what it means to go through tough times.

After hurting myself like that I could not go back immediately to racing. I was in no condition mentally or physically. That helped me to strengthen myself to go through the hard times that were ahead with my business and to be successful.

Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport a business and sometimes almost even a religion.

The main business of religions is to purify control and restrain that excessive and exclusive taste for well-being which men acquire in times of equality.

I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

Business and growing jobs is about taking risk sometimes failing sometimes succeeding but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world.

When times are bad is when the real entrepreneurs emerge.

I often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100 000 in one day in a posh boutique.
