"Every business and every product has risks. You can't get around it."

"In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words; people, product and profits. Unless you've got a good team, you can't do much with the other two."

"Besides we are men, and after all it is our business to risk our lives."

"International business, once allowed to stalk uncontrolled, killed the local, the small, the quirky."

"You can always go into another business. I have never taken a picture of an accountant."

"To be at ease is better than to be at business. Nothing really belongs to us but time, which even he has who has nothing else."

When someone asks about a career in fashion, I say start at the bottom. If you want to start a business, you have to know it from the ground up.

I don't really care about gossip. I care about building great businesses.

"Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market."

"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." 

Noone's a leader if there are no followers..

If you have a job without aggravations, you don't have a job.

It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.

Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he's hired to do.

The best vision is insight.

Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.

Pay your people the least possible and you'll get from them the same.

Although I'm largely doing other things in life, it's very nice occasionally to put my toe back in the waters of show business.

For a few years, I thought I was putting show business behind me. I was busy doing other things in life, particularly with politics. I was not out looking for films, really. I lost interest.

Seems to me that this business, for actors anyway, is not so much about whether or not you do good work. It's about whether or not you get the chance to do good work.

My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.
