You have to feel confident. If you don't, then you're going to be hesitant and defensive, and there'll be a lot of things working against you.

If you think it's going to rain, it will.

When you're young, you're very reckless. Then you get conservative. Then you get reckless again.

I don't like to see a president who is just out campaigning all year long or for the last four years. I'd like to see somebody who's going in the office. In fact, I'd like to not see them because that way you'd be sure that they'd be working.

There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.
