Howard Hughes

I hate reporters. They're always trying to twist my words.

I want to be the richest man in the world.

Don't let anyone near me. I mean anyone.

I'm going to revolutionize the aviation industry.

I don't need anyone. I can do everything myself.

I'm going to build the fastest plane ever.

I want everything delivered to me, and no one is to see me.

I haven't got time for a wife. I'm too busy. And when I do have time, I'd rather spend it with a woman who doesn't talk so much.

I don't propose to be a second-rate anything.

You know, the thing about flying is, it's not the flying that's dangerous. It's the landing.

I'm not a movie mogul. I just like to make movies.

I'm not interested in money. I'm interested in the things money can buy.

I don't like to be touched. I don't like to be around people.

I don't want to be a star. I want to be a legend.

I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

I don't trust anyone.

I'm not a recluse. I just like to be alone.

I'm not interested in what people say about me. I'm interested in what I do.

I'm not a gambler. I just like to take calculated risks.

I don't like to lose.
