I try to do what I call the three E's - educate, entertain, and enlighten. If you don't entertain, no one will show up.

I got married three days after graduation, and the first thing I did what I was expected to do which was to work on a small newspaper.

Norman Tebbit

I know I'm not creating transcendent works that will someday be taught in college. All I do is entertain. I try to entertain others by sending them into another world for a few hours. When I see my books read on the beach, the pages dabbed with suntan lotion, then I feel as if I've done my job.

The day that I spearheaded the passage of America Fast Forward... the newspaper of record did not put it in the newspaper; what they put was my breakup with my ex-girlfriend.

Antonio Villaraigosa

I don't rest in my business interests, I don't rest being a husband, I don't rest being a father, and I don't rest doing none of these things because when you rest, you get comfortable.
