There would be no hair growing business today had I not started it.

I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it! Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.

When I was growing up, there were a lot more arts in the public schools. Politically, America has screwed up on that.

George W. Bush has gathered around him upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography.

I go out of my way to stay off commuter planes. I have skipped conferences because I would not fly on marginal airlines (and because of many mishaps, I also avoided flying on ValuJet).

My dream was to play Major League baseball. I've lived that dream.
