I had a Taco Bell audition where I had to wear a huge sombrero and walk around like an idiot. I got call-backs for the movie 'Twister,' did small independent stuff that I won't name. But it led to all my breakthrough moments on 'Entourage.'

I hate politics. It's slimy. Any job where people pander for votes, I don't like. The country has gotten so partisan that if you're not on my side, you're the enemy. The only thing I ever try to support is a third party, like Unity08. We need more parties and more choice.

Donald Trump I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw him.

If there was a template for success in sports, everyone would follow it. You do the best you can and trust the people you trust.

What I've learned in these 11 years is you just got to stay focused and believe in yourself and trust your own ability and judgment.

Staying true to who I am was tougher when I first got wealthy. Having great friends kept me grounded.

I create offbeat advice; I don't follow it. I rarely take third-party advice on my investments.

Traditional TV will have to innovate their TV delivery software in new ways beyond just offering their content in an app in order to change the viewing erosion of TV.

I have always been selling. I always had something going on. That was just my nature.

When I got to the Mavericks people were all giving me advice - change this, change that - and one thing that I didn't do was fire anybody.

Leaders are not dogmatic. They are principled and know that change is never easy, but when it's necessary, they must lead.

Leaders don't change their positions mid-debate. They welcome scorn from the masses because it creates the opportunity for dialogue.
