I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.

I don't think meals have any business being deductible. I'm for separation of calories and corporations.

I don't think the government should be in the trailer-park business. I don't think they know how to run a trailer park.

I don't think we should be about the business of denying voters in Michigan and Florida the right to be heard.

I don't want to do business with those who don't make a profit, because they can't give the best service.

I don't want to run around and look at a shot through a monitor. That doesn't improve what I'm trying to do. I figure, once I've done my job, it's none of my business.

I feel fine, I don't care who the director is. All you have to do is know what your doing - all of us - everybody in the business - that's all you ask anyone - you know your job, I know mine, let's go do it.

I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.

I find myself going to places where I really have no business, speaking to these people in a whole other field that I have no extensive knowledge of. But I do it very often because it scares me.

I find the business world hard.

I gave up lots of things I love doing: writing, and business, and playing the piano and so on.

I genuinely believe that if you want to get in the film business, get in the film business.

I get a lot of return business. I think it's all those years I put in traveling around the country people saw me before and had a good time so they want to see me again.

I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.

I got to work with one of my heroes, Johnny Depp, and to see how he goes about business, which was really inspiring for me at this stage in my career.

I grew up in the business since I was three years old so I've always kind of been in front of the camera and grew up in commercials and I knew that I wanted to do it no matter what, I just loved it.

I had no idea that he was going to write that, but I've always believed that insecurity was what would keep you always in your innocence, no matter what the business did.

I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.

I hate show business.

I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.

I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn't think that, there would be something wrong with me. I'm grateful and thankful for what I've got.

I have always been a business person.

I have always maintained that society has no business dictating morality.

I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command.

I have heard show business characterized as a refuge for childlike persons in flight from all things harsh and real.

I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing.

I have made some of the best friends that I've got in this business.

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

I have never once regretted missing a business opportunity so that I could be with my children and grandchildren.

I have never yet seen any plan which has not been mended by the observations of those who were much inferior in understanding to the person who took the lead in the business.

I have no business being a journalist. I'm the least, I'm the least - I'm the most trusting, I absolutely make a habit of believing anything that anybody tells me about themselves. I've never had any reason in the world to think that anyone has wanted to harm me, or lie to me. I believe whatever is being sold, most of the time.

I have pretty thick skin, and I think if you're going to be in this business, if you're going to be an actor or a writer, you better have a thick skin.

I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.

I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business, but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.

I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.

I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It's that simple.

I know from my own experience and from other people in the business that when you come from a place where nobody knew who you were and then there is this sudden shift to where everybody now knows who you are, there's an adjustment that you have to make.

I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn't want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don't answer.

I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.

I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time.

I learned from Mr. Wrigley, early in my career, that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business.

I learned what I really love is making films, not the film business. I want to be on the set, meeting with writers, I want that freedom. I love it now.

I learned you have to fight for yourself in the picture business.

I like Mr. Gorbachev, we can do business together.

I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.

I love making people laugh and feel good, and that's awesome and special for me to be able to do that, but there really is nothing like kicking ass whether it's on a major scale, or whether it's in more of a dramatic fashion. Being physical and taking care of business the old-fashioned way is something that I love doing.

I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work.

I love producing. I am loving doing that. I think that is my most natural space in the business. I just love producing or editing and that's where I thrive.

I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.

I may be kindly, I am ordinarily gentle, but in my line of business I am obliged to will terribly what I will at all.

I mean, I'm in the business of storytelling, not message making.

I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.

I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.

I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.

I never dreamt of being a musician for my livelihood. I certainly never would have wanted to be in the business that I'm in, meaning the fame and the glory, the glitter, the rock star, the famous part.

I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer.

I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.

I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.

I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?

I propose that the government should get out of the business of marrying people and, instead, only give legal status to civil unions.

I rate enthusiasm even above professional skill.

I realize that the majority of people in the entertainment business happen to be Democrats. I have no problem with that. And they should have no problem with the fact that I'm a Republican.

I really don't think there is anybody in the business with better eyes than Elijah Wood.

I reject the cynical view that politics is a dirty business.

I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.

I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school, and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people, but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril.

I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.

I started the site when I was 19. I didn't know much about business back then.

I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.

I still have a lot to learn - about the business, about music, and about myself. Its exciting.

I still work hard to know my business. I'm continuously looking for ways to improve all my companies, and I'm always selling. Always.

I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it's not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that's not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded.

I think any man in business would be foolish to fool around with his secretary. If it's somebody else's secretary, fine.

I think any opportunity you have to be green, whether it's in business or in everyday life, you should take it.

I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business.

I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone's got their own definition.

I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

I think I'm in a business where you have to look good, and it's totally youth-oriented.

I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven't had any moral compass, who've just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they're losers.

I think in politics, in Congress, you often do things that are Republican, or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good, obviously, and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business, there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.

I think it is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises - but only performance is reality.

I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.

I think people are used to seeing actors be wide open and desperately giving of themselves, and while I do that on a movie set as much as I can, it's so unnatural for me to do it on television, in interviews, in anything like that. I also don't find that my process as an actor is really anyone else's business.

I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.

I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America, but the business and administrative centre of American culture.

I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.

I think the fact that I was raised in show business, in New York City, in the '50s, that's affected my personality to the point that I'm a little different.

I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.

I think we have to notice that the business processes we use right now for thinking and planning and budgeting and strategy are all delivered on very tight agendas.

I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job.

I used to be focused on being the dopest rapper in the game, and then once that became what I was, I wanted something different, and I wanted to become the best businessman in the game. I wanted to learn how to master the business like I mastered the rap.

I used to work for a management consulting company, so I dressed differently - business casual, probably a lot of things from Banana Republic. My wardrobe now is definitely more expensive, but I always dress for the occasion.

I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others.

I want to go out at the top, but the secret is knowing when you're at the top, it's so difficult in this business, your career fluctuates all the time, up and down, like a pair of trousers.

I want to own an NFL franchise. I understand the business of football.

I want to put a ding in the universe.

I want to tell my jokes. I want to have time with my children. I want to entertain people. And at one point, I'll walk away from show business. But I don't want to walk away empty-handed.

I was a fairly good amateur musician, and I was an average professional. But the one thing I saw was that the big band business was fading.

I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business, so I left the band and enrolled at New York University.

I was always a singer. But I was always focused on being an actor as my trade. Music I do just for me. The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible.

I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, 'You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit.' As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.

I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home.

I was bullied as a kid, and I got a job on television. And I had a camera. And so I wanted to go after those business bullies. And I just have been following that instinct.

I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea.

I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me, 'Don't you want to have a normal job and a normal family?' I guess that would be good advice for some people, but I wanted to act.

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.

I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.

I went onto reality TV as a business decision.

I went to India and met some people who had been involved in this guerrilla business, middle-class people who were rather vain and foolish. There was no revolutionary grandeur to it. Nothing.

I will never do another TV series. It couldn't top I Love Lucy, and I'd be foolish to try. In this business, you have to know when to get off.

I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.

I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you've done that, your marriage becomes everybody else's business.

I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.

I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long, people would rip up my business card in my face. It's a humbling business to be in. But I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I cut the feet out of those pantyhose and I knew I was on to something. This was it.

I'd like to do a lot of things - whether in design or architecture or business.

I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot.

I'll keep on acting 'til they wipe the drool. I like the business. I like to do different parts and diverse characters. I haven't lost my enthusiasm yet!

I'll never forget that show season. It was completely mad. I was staying between Christy and Naomi's rooms and it was all limos and the Ritz Hotel and all that kind of business.

I'm a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical, and, of course, I watch it, but for me it's pure.

I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

I'm an introvert at heart... And show business - even though I've loved it so much - has always been hard for me.

I'm glad about what's happening to the music business. This last crop of people we had in the 90s, who are going away now, they didn't like music. They didn't trust musicians. They wanted something else from it.

I'm happy to report that 'The New Press' is still in business to this day. But not thanks to me. I was a really bad publishing intern.

I'm in a business where no one cares about anything except how well your last collection sold.

I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business. I mean I get loads of money, all from different sources. You give it to your accountant. They manage it.

I'm in show business... I want to hang out with Janet Jackson, not Jesse Jackson.

I'm in the acting business. That's the ego business.

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa, so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there, near my family, my kids, also the real estate business I run with my wife.

I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can.

I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.

I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.

I'm not into business at all.

I'm not really in the excuse business.

I'm not saying I wasn't flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business.

I'm probably the only person who goes to work and says 'Wow, it's really nice here and sweet,' even in the competitive movie business.

I'm quitting the business today. I'm going to open up an appliance store, I've always really been into toasters. I'm giving it all up.

I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.

I've always been able to keep my private life separate from my business.

I've always leaned toward a feminine, funky style, even in business settings. I used to paint my nails blue in 1993, before it was mainstream.

I've always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.

I've drunk Amazon's free Diet Coke. Nothing makes more sense to me than a company trying to make bookselling into a profitable business. I'm not anti-Amazon, and I'm not pro-publishers either. I'm pro-books.

I've got a wife, four kids, a business, and a baseball career.

I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.

I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.

I've made movies that I thought were good. I've made movies that I thought were okay, but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think, I wish more people saw that - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.

I've managed to keep a clear head and remain sane in this business because I remain a kid off-camera.

I've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.

I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.

I've never seen a worse situation than that of young writers in the United States. The publishing business in North America is so commercialized.

I've seen so many people in this business that made a fortune. They get old and broke and can't make any money. I tell you something... no one's going to play a benefit for Jimmy Dean.

I've set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business.

If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.

If a man's character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.

If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.

If an Internet company steals content, they shut it down. And let me tell you, Apple France, Yahoo France or Google France, none of them have gone out of business.

If anybody ran a business like that they would be out of business quickly, and Barack Obama's leadership is driving this business, the United States of America, toward a fiscal cliff.

If bad things are going to be said about me, I have to bear that. If I don't understand that it's part of being in show business, then I'd better go work in a bank.

If I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.

If I could set a world record, it would be that I have 150 business partners, all with thriving businesses of their own that started with nothing and I made the difference to make them all billionaires.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.

If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.

If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his house, what books he may read or what films he may watch.

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

If we get our self-esteem from superficial places, from our popularity, appearance, business success, financial situation, health, any of these, we will be disappointed, because no one can guarantee that we'll have them tomorrow.

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

If we must have a tyrant, let him at least be a gentleman who has been bred to the business, and let us fall by the axe and not by the butcher's cleaver.

If we want to secure the best jobs in the future, we must make America the best place in the world to do business.

If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.

If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business.

If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

If you create something that is asking for people to respond as they're going to respond, you have to allow them to respond as they're going to respond. Some of the people are going to be uninterested and some people are going to be mad for some reason, which is their business. That's just the way the world is.

If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you're putting yourself out of business.

If you don't drive your business, you will be driven out of business.

If you don't understand the details of your business you are going to fail.

If you have a line of business - I know this as a CEO - or if you have a teenager - I know this as a parent - who have a spending problem, what do you do? You quit giving them money.

If you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to what you can do with your business and your life. Ideas are any man's greatest asset.

If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secrete of getting along - whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.

If you have to forecast, forecast often.

If you like a person you say 'let's go into business together.' Man is a social animal after all, but such partnerships are fraught with danger.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.

If you say, 'I'm going to cut this song because I know the teenagers are going to love it,' well, then you're going to alienate everybody else. When I cut my record, I'm just going to cut the things that I like, and whoever likes it, likes it. That's too much work to try to figure out the demographic. That's too much like a business.

If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!

If you want to have a good life, you should focus on your family, on your business, on your dog, on your fun, and you'll have a good life.

If you want to stay in the business then you've got to be a bit shrewd, haven't you?

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.

If you're an entrepreneur and you think that the president makes a difference to your business, you should stay at your current job.

In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it.

In America, we no longer have an institutionalized, organized way of calling business to task - of taking them to account for what they've done - and this is especially true in the cultural realm.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

In business for yourself, not by yourself.

In business or in life, don't follow the wagon tracks too closely.

In business, the competition will bite you if you keep running, if you stand still, they will swallow you.

In business, words are words explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.

In business, you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand.

In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.

In my business, if I get too close to you and you die, it hurts me. And so you develop a natural inclination not to be close to the patient, so that if things don't work out ideally, you can still get up the next day and care for the next patient.

In practice we, in the world, must do business with each other.

In principle, there are only three main components of spending that much matter to monetary policy: consumer spending, business investment and exports and trade.

In recent years, I've been writing because I'm fortunate enough to work in the world of food television, to travel and taste and learn about cooking from the best chefs in the business.

In terms of having a business, I wanted to let it go beyond what my personal taste is. Basically, I'm in a kilt and a white shirt every day. So, you know, I don't have a lot of scope, and I'm really picky about what I wear.

In terms of the technology I use the most, it's probably a tie between my Blackberry and my MacBook Pro laptop. That's how I communicate with the rest of the world and how I handle all the business I have to handle.

In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first the cash will come later.

In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

In the coming years, if not sooner, social media will become a powerful tool that consumers will aggressively use to influence business attitudes and force companies into greater social responsibility - and, I suggest, move us towards a more sustainable practice of capitalism.

In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product, and profits.

In the end, the humanities can only be defended by stressing how indispensable they are and this means insisting on their vital role in the whole business of academic learning, rather than protesting that, like some poor relation, they don't cost much to be housed.

In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.

In the music business, especially the country music business, every 10 years or so you're going to have this changing of the guard, this wave of new artists that comes in.
