I could announce one morning that the world was going to blow up in three hours and people would be calling in about my hair!

So it's the kind of business where you can't wait to get up in the morning and read the papers or listen to what's on the news and you know how the world's going to change.

I think it's good that I had some experience of the real world before I became successful. You know having to get up in the morning and going to work in construction.

Sometimes in the morning when it's a good surf I go out there and I don't feel like it's a bad world.

I tend to start at 9 o'clock in the morning and write until 3. Those are my best hours. They fit the other rhythms of the world. So I write for six hours pretty much without any breaks.

The boy who expects every morning to open into a new world finds that today is like yesterday but he believes tomorrow will be different.

If you're changing the world you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.

I have to say that when you tour the world obviously the jetlags and different hours and ways of living and traveling a lot of hours in the plane and you wake up in the morning and you're not quite sure where you are and it is very tiring.

We awoke one morning in September and the world lurched on its axis.

I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems if you keep yourself aware of it you don't really have a day off.

The world is new to us every morning - this is God's gift and every man should believe he is reborn each day.

Sometimes I wish that there were a way to let people know that just because I live in a world without rules and in a life that is lawless doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt so bad the morning after.

There's nothing in the world more silent than the telephone the morning after everybody pans your play. It won't ring from room service your mother won't be calling you. If the phone has not rung by 8 in the morning you're dead.

'The Panorama' is also the last place anywhere in New York where the World Trade Center still stands whole as it stood in the early morning of September 11. I can also see the corner where I saw the first tower fall and howled out loud. Seeing the buildings again here is uplifting healing.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

But it's a blessing to be so successful within a year it's the greatest feeling in the world making money and doing the things that I'm doing and I definitely trying to continue doing what I'm doing.

Let us face it: in the world today money and economic strength remain more powerful arguments than the number of people you represent.

I actually think that the economy has got some positives. It's got the market. It's got consumer confidence and it's got banks throwing - I mean central bankers throwing money at it around the world.

There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.

People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.

The companies that survive longest are the one's that work out what they uniquely can give to the world not just growth or money but their excellence their respect for others or their ability to make people happy. Some call those things a soul.

It can be liberating to get fired because you realize the world doesn't end. There's other ways to make money better jobs.

But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either so there has to be a balance.

Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money.
