“Money and power magnifies our temptations. It allows us to do the things that we already wanted to do mentally. It allows us to be who we already wanted to be. In position, people will show you who they really are. Sometimes a financial burden is saving you from yourself. We seem to only have emotion for the things that have affected us. Some leaders had to be put through a struggle in order to genuinely lead. Some are placed in the mud before they find their purpose. A real leader, leads in the mud too. They can’t help but lead wherever they are.”

“Cuando se está transmitiendo un programa de televisión, es prácticamente imposible decir “Déjeme pensar en ello” o “¿qué quiere decir cuando afirma…?”. Este tipo de discurso no sólo enlentece el ritmo del espectáculo, sino que crea una impresión de incertidumbre o falta de determinación. Tiende a revelar a la gente que el acto de pensar es tan desconcertante o aburrido en la televisión como lo es en los escenarios de Las Vegas. Los directores de televisión hace mucho tiempo que descubrieron que el acto de pensar no encaja bien en ese medio. No hay mucho que ver en él.”
