country impact debt
And the trajectory that our debt is taking now beyond $14 trillion is going to have an impact on our currency. It goes south, and our currency's going to have an impact on our standard of living and affect every family in this country, and over time, our international competitiveness.
basketball captain high life sports
Sports were a big part of my life. I was the captain of the basketball team in high school, and captain of the basketball team at Princeton.
believe successful
I really did believe that the most successful investments were the ones that you could own for the long run.
best job money responsibility schedule time work
It's my responsibility to make the movie work with the schedule and money we have. It's my job to get the best movie we can do in the time we have.
family
I wanted to make a movie about a black family in Middle America. I wanted to make a film where everyone can look at them and say, 'This is my family.'
I couldn't have been luckier with my parents.

Be smarter than other people, just don't tell them so.
I wasnt a good rule-breaker when I was younger.
You can't make an action movie without action, and so, you can't make a romance movie without romance.
character names guy
I'm a big fan of the 70's action films. Where there is a lot of character and a lot of great action, but the action is kind of cemented with a great back-story with characters. And I thought, this kind of reminded me of the movies that, early on when I was telling Dwayne (Johnson) and the guys, the producer... my whole thing is if you look at a movie like The Driver by Walter Hill, it's a film where there's no names. They are just named, "the driver", "the cop".
Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege.
believe billions millions needs
Compensation needs to be predominately performance-driven. If CEO compensation was performance-driven, which I believe it was in IBM's case, nobody would ever argue. If the shareholders didn't make billions and billions of dollars, I wouldn't make millions of dollars.
best
Some of our best journalists take themselves even more seriously than the politicians they write about.
inspirational religious responsibility
One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
