Growing up on a family farm, I know firsthand the challenges of running a small business... challenges that only seem to be growing for today's entrepreneurs.

Gov. Perry has led the way in Texas on creating an environment for job growth.

It's mystifying to me why the House leadership will not allow a straight up-or-down vote on a pay raise. I vote against every pay raise because taxpayers deserve better.

The trend in entrepreneurship is up, but an entrepreneur's ability to hire is down.

I'd like to walk into a room sometime and be introduced as the author of something other than that play. There's always one thing in a career that has more impact than anything else. In my case, 'The Subject Was Roses' was that thing.

I have faced challenges during the initial stages of my career, and I see Run Adam as filling a vacuum.

I guess I don't really let the stress of my family weigh on my career, weigh on my options anymore, which I think we all need freedom from.

I'm 85 years old. I've been in business since I was a teenager, practically; I was in grade school, and I even had a paper route. I always had a job so I could have money to spend on girls.
