The sound of the headboard, that's motivation.

Presenting feels like it did 50 years ago, but the pay's a lot better.

We're going to be on the ground in Iraq as soldiers and citizens for years. We're going to be running a colony almost.

If you're emotional and you're great at something, the money will follow.

The wisest man is he who can account for his actions.
