Industry is important, but everyone thinks money is important.

I liken myself to Henry Ford and the auto industry, I give you 90 percent of what most people need.

I believe the auto industry is a competition of human resources, competition of funding, competition of technology - and the competition is international.

There can be no doubt that the transportation sector is the most critical sector of our economy.

The industry is big, and if I get an interesting role, I will take it up.

I'm very proud of the auto industry in Michigan.

The auto industry must acknowledge that a rational transportation policy should seek a balance between individual convenience, the efficient use of limited resources, and urban-living values that protect spaciousness, natural beauty, and human-scale mobility.

Every single country that has an auto industry is stepping forward to help that auto industry. Why wouldn't we help this industry too, because it needs 3.5 million jobs.

I believe those that produce the least emissions in autos will also be those who have the greatest success worldwide.

Innovation is what we're going to need for the future, and that's always been a part of the technology industry.
