The more you are in this business the more humbled by it you become.

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.

There is the expression of selfishness and there is the expression of selflessness - but economists or theoreticians never touched that part. They said: 'Go and become a philanthropist.' I said 'No I can do that in the business world create a different kind of business - a business based on selflessness.'

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'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.

Well I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades in show business for a long time. I was a singer and a dancer and then I got a job as an actor.

A business of high principle generates greater drive and effectiveness because people know that they can do the right thing decisively and with confidence.

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.

You just can't get too focused on worrying about what's going to happen in the next quarter. You have to worry about where the business is headed long-term.

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.

Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one things that simply won't be got rid of.

It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.

Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill and now hacking is big business.

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.

The reason is that they define how I have gone about my business. I have trusted to intuition. I did it at the beginning. I do it even now. I have no idea how things might turn out where in my writing I might go next.

Judgment is not my business. Existing is my business.

The only thing I fear more than change is no change. The business of being static makes me nuts.

I'm not really in the excuse business.

You can be in this business 50 years and still not know anything about it.

My home has always been show business.

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.
