Toyota was the first to put a commercial fuel cell powered car on the road and I have no doubt that Toyota will continue to be in the front lines in the development of competitive fuel cell vehicles.

I was turning 20 during my first record. Those decade birthdays always kind of cause me it seems to reflect look back and then look forward. I just was closing this period of my life where I was living in a car and scrambling my whole life to then signing a six-record deal with Atlantic.

On Memorial Day I was out floating on Lake Norman and came across Denny Hamlin. We struck up a conversation and one of the first things we were talking about was how much it helped him when he started racing the Cup car and how much it helped his Nationwide program.

I dated a guy and he liked me but I didn't like him. I went through his wardrobe and cleaned out his house and got him to get a new car. He said to me 'If I give you $10 0 will you find me my wife because I want someone like you?' And within a year he got married. That was the first match that led to me leaving my corporate job.

My first car was a motorcycle.

Buyers decide in the first eight seconds of seeing a home if they're interested in buying it. Get out of your car walk in their shoes and see what they see within the first eight seconds.

Removing the faults in a stage-coach may produce a perfect stage-coach but it is unlikely to produce the first motor car.

My first car I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks and then wound up throwing $10 000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind.

The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines because I always had a car thing.

When you first get money you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!

(On seeing a former lover for the first time in years) I thought I told you to wait in the car.

My boyfriend keeps telling me I've got to own things. So first I bought this car. And then he told me I oughta get a house. 'Why a house?' 'Well you gotta have a place to park the car.'

My revenue was $4 million my first year in business off of one $20 item.

I've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.

Writing fiction is for me a fraught business an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.

The most important decision I've made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me my homies from the neighborhood criminals. I just said 'Come on everybody we made it.' Then I had to realize we didn't make it. I made it.

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 think I thought it would be important for electronics as we knew it then but that was a much simpler business and electronics was mostly radio and television and the first computers.

The goal seems to me at times just to be business first.

I remember when I first started in the business I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.

My approach to cutting spending as president is to do a ten percent across the board cut of all federal agencies and then ask each of my new agency heads to find another ten percent by drilling down. That's what you do in business to come up with approximately 20 percent cuts for the first fiscal year budget.

Very few if any first-generation black or white or Asian kids will pursue a Ph.D. They'll pursue the professions for economic security. Many will go to law school and/or business school.

It's wonderful to have the most important thing in the world there first thing in the morning. And especially in this business where the opportunity to think everything is about you is there every day now I really know that it isn't all about me.

There is a fundamental shift that social media necessitates in business today - the need to transition from 'Me First' to 'We First' thinking.
