Just really really believe in what you're trying to do. Don't let people alter that. Let people advise you and lead you down paths to make smart business decisions. But trust your instinct and trust that overwhelming drive that made you put all your dreams and everything on the line.

We have lost that which has made us great over the generations and that is the sense of individual and personal responsibility that we can come up we can pursue our dreams and our aspirations and we won't be blocked by government regulation by the inability to get a loan as a small business to make our dreams come true.

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.

It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.

My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent I have reached the top of the acting profession.

Oh I was never a businessman. I was a visionary a dreamer.

The sad thing is when it comes to diet is that even when well-intentioned Feds try to do right by us they fail. Either they're outvoted by puppets of agribusiness or they are puppets of agribusiness.

My strengths as a businessman lie in the design and sale of women's shoes and I have never been comfortable with complicated or technical legal or business documents.

In both business and personal life I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages cultures scenery food and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.

I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.

People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.

It's weird to have people so interested in your personal life. It's a part of the business that grosses me out. I'm always bummed out for people who just happen to be dating a celebrity and they're also famous and they can't live their life.

My mom and dad - they were always there. They were always on the set. They focused on our family life. The entertainment business wasn't the end-all. They weren't out to get the next big paycheck or the next big movie. It was about 'What can we do as a family.'

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

We came from a family where we ran our own small business. Our dad made his own products. We made our own sausages our own meatloafs our own pickles. Dad had to do everything himself. He had to figure out how to finance his business.

My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman and maybe I got some of his ability.

My dad is very successful in his business. He's always been big in having hobbies and having little ways to get away. He always made time for hunting and fishing. He always encouraged me to do it.

My dad was born in Chicago in 1908... his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children - in the backroom all together - and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.

My dad was the baby. When he was born they were already successful. They sent him to business school - he probably would have loved to have been a poet or a writer or something and he was very creative.

I finished high school moved to Nashville for college and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.

I owe a lot to my dad just for having provided the wrestling business for us to get into.

Playing music has always felt very natural. You know you do try to do other things and you do learn lessons that way but eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber you become a plumber. It's the family business and I felt like I was taking over the family business.

My dad knows the business and he tells me I've got to do what's best for me.

My dad has been a big influence on me because he's always had his own business. He really taught me business sense and how to be a focused individual but also how to have fun and make everyone around you have fun.
