On Alan Sugar, host of the British television Version of "The Apprentice": "I don`t know what Alan Sugar looks like. You know, I own the show, but I don`t even know what he looks like. I mean, I hear he`s doing nicely, not like we`re doing over here, but doing fine."

I wish I`d had a great marriage. See, my father was always very proud of me, but the one thing he got right was that he had a great marriage. He was married for 64 years. One of my ex-wives once said to me, `You have to work at a marriage`. And I said, `That`s the most ridiculous thing`, because my parents, they didn`t work at the marriage. If you have to work at a marriage, it`s not going to work. It has to be sort of a natural thing. But my ex-wife would say, `You have to work at this, you have to do this, you have to do that`. And I`m saying to myself, `Man, I work all day long, well into the evening. I don`t want to come home and work at a marriage. A marriage has to be very easy`. My father would come home, have dinner, and take it easy. It was the most natural marriage I`ve ever seen. And Melania (Melania Trump)makes my life easy; one of the things I so love about her is that she makes my life easier. I`ve never had anybody that made my life so easy. Now I hope that continues. Perhaps that will change. I intend to find out! [October 2004].

[when asked if he would run for President of the United States] People wanted me to very strongly and I decided I didn`t want to do it. I sort of enjoy what I`m doing and I continue to enjoy what I`m doing. I have never had more fun. And then to cap it off with a star on the walk of fame today was just a lot of fun. And, you know, it`s just -- it`s just very sad to me what`s happening with this country in terms of world and in terms of world perception.

On his catchphrase "You`re fired!" from "The Apprentice" (2004): "I mean, there`s no arguing. There is no anything. There is no beating around the bush. `You`re fired` is a very strong term."

Rosie O`Donnell called me a snake oil salesman. And, you know, coming from Rosie, that`s pretty low because when you look at her and when you see the mind, the mind is weak. I don`t see it. I don`t get it. I never understood -- how does she even get on television?

"It`s tangible, it`s solid, it`s beautiful. It`s artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate."

"Well, yes, I`ve fired a lot of people. Generally I like other people to fire, because it`s always a lousy task. But I have fired many people."

"Show me someone without an ego, and I`ll show you a loser."

"Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game."

"A little more moderation would be good. Of course, my life hasn`t exactly been one of moderation."

"Watch somebody sell their used car and not wash it. You can spend $10 washing the car and get another $200 for the car."

"All of the women on "The Apprentice" (2004) flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That`s to be expected."

"It doesn`t hurt to get more education."

"You know, it really doesn`t matter what [the media] write as long as you`ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
