I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son you shouldn't do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished and when you're done don't make your hobby your job.
My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.
I had never been able to get a car that said how much I cared about the environment until I drove electric.
I never rode in an automobile until I was 12.
Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.
What's so touching is the way we fight the war right until the moment our business is taken care of and then we turn on a dime and we immediately start taking care of people. It's like a shock and aw shucks campaign.
Secure our borders first. Let us know and let us make sure the American people know that we're taking care of the important business of dealing with the illegal immigration into this country. You cannot begin to address the concerns of the people who are already here unless and until you have made certain that no more are coming in behind them.
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.

I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job.
I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.
