If everybody who was in the Forbes 400 said they were going to create 10,000 jobs, by my mathematics, that would be 4 million jobs.

If I'm going to create 1,000 jobs, or 10,000 jobs, or whatever the number is, wouldn't we all be better off?

Generally, I have a strong interest in trying to help people who are maybe not as lucky as I am. I've been well rewarded in this world. I'm more worried about the next one.

I want to give away the money. I don't want to die with it. I want the money to be used well.

There is no reason, in the capital city of the richest country in the world, for anybody to be hungry.

More effective than giving away half my fortune before I die is finding a way to help people have a good-paying job.

Until a person has a home, they are always going to be dependent upon the system.
