Howard Hughes

I'm not a genius. I just work harder than everyone else.

I'm not a good businessman. I'm a good engineer.

I don't want to be remembered as a rich man. I want to be remembered as a man who did something.

I'm not interested in politics. I'm interested in power.

I'm not a playboy. I'm a serious person.

I'm not a normal person. I'm an individual.

I'm not a visionary. I just see things differently.

I don't like to compromise.

I'm not a philanthropist. I'm a businessman.

I'm not a fool. I know what I'm doing.

I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work.

I'm not a hero. I'm just a man.

I'm not a god. I'm just a man who can do things.

I don't want to be famous. I just want to be left alone.

I'm not a bad person. I just have my own way of doing things.

I'm not a monster. I'm just misunderstood.

I don't like to be touched by strangers.

I'm not a germaphobe. I just like to be clean.

I don't like doctors. They always tell you what you don't want to hear.

I'm not afraid of anything. Except failure.
