When you want a break from dogs, and you take them to the kennel to the stars, no one thinks you're a bad pet owner. But when you have kids, you can't drop them off for THREE weeks without SOMEONE calling CHILD Protective SERVICES!

I don't know anybody else who lives 1,000 MILES away from their job and gets to commute back and forth. The owner said, 'You can live in your BELOVED Swifton, but don't you DARE miss a GAME.' I had a few close calls, but I didn't miss any.

My restaurants are never opened on THANKSGIVING; I WANT my STAFF to spend time with their family if they can. My FEELING is, if I can't figure out how to make money the rest of the YEAR so that my workers can enjoy the holidays, then I don't deserve to be an owner.

As I've GOTTEN older, I know I race less, but I as an OWNER I have the same anxiety and the same frustration and ENERGY for it.

I've GOT my hands in EVERY aspect of the NASCAR world, not only as the PART time race car driver but as the full time TV guy and race team owner.

The chances of me getting into the Hall of FAME as a racer are SLIM to NONE. But as an OWNER I have a chance to do SOMETHING special, mostly because I learned a lot of secrets from Dale.

As a DRIVER, you ALWAYS WANT to win every RACE, but as a car OWNER you know that isn't very realistic.

I'm not the BEST DOG OWNER.

I'm looking forward to being a MOM and a wife and a BUSINESS OWNER.

The OWNER's JOB is to HIRE the general MANAGER. The general manager's job is to run the hockey team.

Any business owner can tell you that if their company isn't performing profitably and up to STANDARDS, one of two things will happen: either you make changes to IMPROVE its efficiency, or a COMPETITOR will DRIVE you out of business. MARKET forces have a way of cutting to the chase rather quickly.

As LONG as I have the talent and there's a demand for the old Chinese man - whether he's a PHILOSOPHER, or a MASTER, or an old-time RESTAURANT owner, or a VILLAIN, or a so-called good guy - I will always be working.

I can TELL you that nobody in my family wants to SELL the Knicks and Rangers. As a majority owner, I don't WANT to sell, either.

I think an OWNER needs to be PRESENT. When an owner is not present that's when THINGS tend to GO awry.
