“I’m one of those people that think certain things happen at certain times for all the right reasons.”

You know, I’m a pretty mellow guy. I’m pretty easy-going. I see everyone’s perspective.

If you play with people who are better than you, then you get better.

I have an airplane hangar with 17 cars in it. That’s no joke. I have a ‘half pipe’ in there, too – you know, like a big ramp, where I skateboard. It’s awesome. It’s the ultimate fantasy.

My philosophy is: If you can’t have fun, there’s no sense in doing it.

I like having to figure out how to pull things off, how to sell it, how to make it look real, but not just real, make it look better.

I always find film-making a pleasurable experience.

There’s more to life than movies.

Attitude is attitude, whether you’re a West Coast gangster or East Coast gangster, you know?

I’ve always wanted to race cars, ever since I was a young boy, as I think a lot of guys have.

Not the one who knows the most, but the one who loves faithfully and consistently the most, is a true follower of Jesus.

Leadership is a choice one makes.

One cannot govern with ‘buts’.

When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I’ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain’t gon’ make it no more.

Mystery is the number one conjurer of ideas.

Love is hard to find, but love is one of a kind.

I have a very good life, a high quality of life. I have both money and time. No one has that.

One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.
