Hitachi Nail Guns were as good as gold in this city for years. I had 300 on pawn, and then when they stopped building houses in Vegas I wound up with 300 Hitachi Nail Guns that I can't give away.

I never thought I would downgrade into a 4,000-square-foot house. It took me about two months to find places to put everything.

I can only have four to five ounces of food in my stomach. When you only have that much space in there, you don't want to fill it up with crap.

You look for the way something is built. You see a Prada bag and you look at the stitching at the back. If it's a fake one, then they make it really cheap. If it's a real Prada bag and I will look at it, I will count every single stitch and make sure they are exact distance apart.

It was a dreamlike time for me from December 1997 to March of '98. Before that, I was basically unknown. Then, bang! The starting gun fired, and everybody just started running. It was learn-on-the-job. And there were more opportunities for work than I had time to do them.

I want to have my career, not sit on the bench. I want to work hard, to push myself. I want to play.

Almost every business is regulated by the state. So if you're going to say, 'If you own any business, you shouldn't run for public office,' I don't think that's what we want.

I had some downtime with my career and... I got complacent.
