I did not deal well with the politicians. I tend to tell people that when they are full of crap, that they are full of crap.

You put together the best team that you can with the players you've got, and replace those who aren't good enough.

[Politicians] - they'll give you everything you want to your face - and then, as you walk away, they'll shoot you in the back because it's fun to watch you die.

A lot of people came into the airline business. Most of them promptly exited, minus their money.

If the pilots were in charge, Columbus would still be in port. They believe the assertion that the world is flat.

The airline business is fast-paced, high risk, and highly leveraged. It puts a premium on things I like to do. I think I communicate well. And I am very good at detail. I love detail.

I've said many times that I'd be thrilled to sell the airline to the employees and our guys said no, we'll take all the money, anyway.

It is a sweet thing to have someone love you, but it is a far sweeter thing when his actions convince your heart, and his words persuade your soul.

If people do not know the rules, they will continue making mistakes and the situation will only worsen.

All I want to do is learn to think like God. All the rest is just details.

When I graduated from college I didn't want to play in the AFL.

I think my friend Tom Hanks knows me. He understands me very well. He’s always had a sort of parental feeling toward me. He knows I’m a big mush ball, which is just part of my personality.

I kind of wanted someone to rearrange the stars so they spelled out his words. I needed them big and bright, and somewhere I could see then when things felt dark. I love you. And I'm so, so proud.

Acting can be the healthiest profession in the world, because it allows you to do things you can't do in real life. It allows you to understand more than just what life provides you.
