Businessman

We want people to still have choices - Ford cars and trucks, whatever works for their lifestyle.

Man, have I become a car guy!

I think my first-ever car was a Chevrolet, 1960.

The automobile has moved into the mainstream of our integrated digital world.

You create value, and you create jobs.

I don't see anything changing about our desire for quality and fuel efficiency and safety and smart design, no matter what the vehicle size.

Where you really get in trouble is if the market is dropping and the economy's slowing down and you don't take action.

I had a great life at Boeing. I'd been there for 37 years and contributed to all the Boeing airplanes as a designer: the 707, 727, 37, 47, 57, 67 and 'triple 7' and the 87.

I have a lot of respect for Microsoft.

The purpose of life is to love and be loved... what could possibly be more energizing than that?

Some people believe the U.S. can't compete in the design and manufacture of sophisticated products. I think we absolutely can if we pull together. We have shown that we can do that in commercial airplanes, and we can absolutely prove that we can do that in automobiles.

As we develop our energy policies in the United States to generate our energy clean, then I think we're going to really move to a world that all of us want, and that is a sustainable future.

I believe America should make things.

Having one national standard for mpg and CO2 is extremely important.

Be true to yourself and your values.

The One Ford plan drives the business to get PGA, Profitable Growth for All, meaning that every year we increase the profits and cash flow. So how do we do that? We serve all the markets around the world with a complete family of vehicles and use the One Ford Plan.

Ford is committed to building a sustainable future for the benefit of all Americans, and we believe Ford is on the right path to achieve this vision.

Consumers want safe and really efficient automobiles.

I was the lead designer and the general manager of the triple 7 and, of course, the dynamite 787.

When I arrived in Ford, a decision was made to sell many marquee brands. This was because 85 per cent of the sales were from Ford and Lincoln brands. We were clear that for the company's strong future, we needed to focus on the Ford brands.
