We need to get out of the way of the small business owner - and big business owners - and allow them to do what government can only dream of doing: creating jobs and thereby creating wealth.

If we just go back to the basics... I do not want to give up our republic and become a socialistic ideological nation. That's not who we are.

I'm in a male-dominated industry.

Did we ever plan on being billionaires? No, but we wanted to be millionaires.

For now, capitalism is working to produce more money but does not see the people. This problem is getting worse across the world.

I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.

Nevada Energy doesn't lose money. The gaming industry loses money. It employs all the people. It pays all the taxes. And if you take the P&L, the profit and loss, of the hotels in Las Vegas and Reno, it is a number that is minus, not plus, minus.

The more money you spend, the more you need to make back, and the more pressure there is to appeal to everyone - which to the studio means that the specificity and uniqueness must be watered down. But I think mass audiences like things that are more specific and tend to have a voice, like 'Napoleon Dynamite' or 'Superbad.'
