I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person.
Friendship is so weird. You just pick a human you've met and you're like, 'Yep, I like this one,' and you just do stuff with them.
People are like music, some speak the truth and others are just noise.
Numbers matter, ... The Chinese obviously believe that numbers matter because they're turning out submarines like sausages. The Chinese are definitely on the winning end of an arms race.
As we looked at the challenge for our employees to save for retirement, we decided that we wanted to have an automatic deduction from payroll, particularly to get our new employees to start saving. We match them at the level of 50 cents on the dollar.
No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
I've got kids and that's important. It's funny, you think that there's an expiration date on them and there just isn't.
You had to keep the mood up; you had to keep the tempo up. You had to keep the feeling of, "Hey, we're doing something that's really exciting. It's fun being with these people." And the more fun you have, the better you do it.

Like: 'Don't walk out there with one hand in your pocket unless there's somethin' in there you're going to bring out.' You gotta commit. You've gotta go out there and improvise and you've gotta be completely unafraid to die. You've got to be able to take a chance to die. And you have to die lots. You have to die all the time.
Sometimes I snore, like when I get really tired.
You know...they say an elephant never forgets. What they don't tell you is, you never forget an elephant.
You can handle just about anything that comes at you out on the road with a believable grin, common sense and whiskey.
