The practical reality of managing cars in the family - I do 36-month leases. I think they're horrible investments. And you want to give them back after their warranty is over.

When I turned 50, something clicked in my head and I said, 'I'm not going to live to 100. I'm half-cooked already.' I set the family down and I said, 'Listen everybody, we're now entering the decade of Daddy. We're going to start doing things that I want to do.'

When you come to 'Shark Tank,' the only person you should listen to is me, because you know you're getting the truth. I'll decide if it's worth it, and after I'm finished, the rest of the people can look into it.

Here's how I think of my money - as soldiers - I send them out to war everyday. I want them to take prisoners and come home, so there's more of them.

I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.

I want to go to bed richer than when I woke up. The pursuit of wealth is a wonderful thing, but the thing is you have to be honest about it, you have to tell the truth.

Business is war. I go out there, I want to kill the competitors. I want to make their lives miserable. I want to steal their market share. I want them to fear me and I want everyone on my team thinking we're going to win.

You may lose your wife, you may lose your dog, your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like.

Being an employee is a bad outcome. You want to avoid that. Being an employee is never a good outcome. That's just an opinion.

I'm not trying to make friends, I'm trying to make money.

Don't call me, I'll call you... I'm out.

Don't cry about money, it never cries for you.

There's only one side with me. You get the right side. You get the correct version of the facts.

When you bring an idea that has no merit to me, and you ask me to comment on it, I'm going to tell you it has no merit.

There are a lot of impractical things about owning a Porsche. But they're all offset by the driving experience. It really is unique. Lamborghinis and Ferraris come close. And they are more powerful, but they don't handle like a Porsche.

All we do is bring the debate from both sides, and let you as a viewer decide where you want to end up on the issue. That's very important. That's exactly what happens in 'Redemption Inc.'

I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.

I think a book is your calling card, your business card.

If a man could give birth it would be to a book - it's an 18-month gestation period.
