I'm every BOURGEOIS NIGHTMARE - a Cockney with intelligence and a MILLION DOLLARS.

You can't be PRETENTIOUS about what we do, because at the END of the DAY, movies are about entertainment, and if people GET 10 dollars' worth, then that's OKAY.

Music VIDEOS are REALLY expensive, and if I mess it up, it's LIKE, 'Oh, there goes 15,000 DOLLARS,' you know?

If your payloads COST HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars, they actually cost more than the LAUNCH. It puts a lot of pressure on the launch VEHICLE not to change, to be very stable. Reliability becomes much more important than the cost. It's hard to get off of that equilibrium.

In 2000, just before leaving the White House, CLINTON ratcheted up military AID to Colombia. Plan Colombia, as the assistance program was called, PROVIDED billions of dollars to what was, and remains, the most repressive GOVERNMENT in the hemisphere.

There are those who advocate, and those who do. I'm not trying to slight my peers, but there is a DIFFERENCE between using a soapbox and actually getting your hands DIRTY. I've spent not only YEARS and millions of dollars but hours and hours and hours of my time doing what I do, and that's very different from what anyone else is doing.

If people are GOING to give, they're going to give. And it doesn't matter if you give a dollar or FIVE dollars or a hundred dollars or a MILLION dollars; it's all ACCORDING to your ability.

In the U.S. you have a system of lobbying and influence on our policy and law makers which is incredibly pronounced. The GAS INDUSTRY spent $250 million getting an exemption from our Safe Water ACT. Every one of those dollars is toxic; a contaminant in our political system. It disrupts the NORMAL flow of JUSTICE, science, fact and reporting.

At age NINE, I got a paper route. Sixty-six papers had to be delivered to sixty-six families every day. I also had to COLLECT thirty cents a week from each CUSTOMER. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to KEEP the rest. When I didn't collect, the balance came out of my profit. My average income was six dollars a week.

We spent ZERO dollars on advertising. We just had a YouTube VIDEO and that was it. We did a QUARTER million dollars in REVENUE, just in THREE weeks.

I have 9 children; I'm a big BELIEVER in childhood education, but we've GOT to be SMART about GETTING a good RETURN on the investment of those dollars.
