Play off everyone against each other so that you have more avenues of action open to you.
I'm not a paranoid deranged millionaire.
Money can't buy happiness.
I put the sweat of my life into this project, and if it's a failure, I'll leave the country and never come back.
I intend to be the greatest golfer in the world, the finest film producer in Hollywood, the greatest pilot in the world, and the richest man in the world.
I want to be remembered for only one thing: my contribution to aviation.
I am by nature a perfectionist, and I seem to have trouble allowing anything to go through in a half-perfect condition. So if I made any mistake it was in working too hard and in doing too much of it with my own hands.
If I have made a mistake in the design, then I'm the one who should pay for it. I certainly would not ask somebody else to fly a plane if I were afraid to do it myself.
Once you consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things back the way they are.
Every man has his price, or a guy like me couldn't exist.
Passion will make you crazy, but is there any other way to live?
Do the impossible, because almost everyone has told me my ideas are merely fantasies.
I'm not a paranoid derranged millionaire. Goddamit, I'm a billionaire.
