I paid my way through college as a carpenter and a woodworker. So I've built the house I live in and most of the furniture that's in it, and I do a lot of woodworking still.

I'm not somebody who is going to build something for a few years, sell it, and then go off and just have fun.

I like building and making things. I, perhaps, would like to try my hand at directing one day. Sometimes I fancy myself as an architect - but I think I might need to go back to school for that.

I saved $8,000 and created a construction company when I was 25.

I spent a long time working in restaurants and making no money. It was very character-building, but I think it could have been built in a shorter time.

Not only does investing in your infrastructure provide very good construction jobs, at the end of the project, you have something.

I am a mechanical techie. I can build things with my hands.

I want to build something I'd be happy to be employed by 10 years out.

When I was in Chicago, I was working as a carpenter while I was doing plays. I thought it'd be a fun set construction job, but it turned up to just be a straight-up factory.
