I grew up in a world before people had credit cards. There were no magic cards - it was all about budgeting.

The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

Whether it's cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you've always got to think of where to store them.

However and wherever we are, we must live as if we will never die.

American's greatest deficit is no longer found in the federal budget. It is a moral deficit, and it may be found in a polluted and poisoned culture that has become the great enemy within.

I was born in Queens, New York, which is a suburb of New York City.

Learn to speak by listening.

You're either slangin' crack rock, or you got a wicked jumpshot.
