I'm going to be 58, and I'm a woman. In this business, that seems to be a bigger crime than being mentally ill.
I wrote a little autobiography about how luck has to do with everything. It's called 'My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business.' A publisher came to me and said, 'Write a book,' so I did. I wanted to call it 'Everybody Else Has Got a Book.'
It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.
Show business is one of the few businesses that the devil will actually agree to own just a portion of your soul because he knows if you have a performer's ego you were probably working for him all along.
I don't think the disruptor and the business model of a disruptor necessarily is an indication of the topography of the future. If it did, you would say then that everyone will make high-end electric cars, when the answer is clearly no.
If I get married, it's something you really have to work at. It's hard enough to work at having a relationship with best friends and girls that are in the business.
The entertainment business is and always has been about money, and it's about, 'Does that person merit that salary?' The fact is that that the business, in my view, has been somewhat bankrupt for years - only the new media made it viable.
It is not easy to grow old in this business, when you are a woman above all, in the cinema.
Most of my relationships were people in the business. Having said that, me and Tim don't really talk that much about work. He comes into my bit of the house every so often to vent but we don't really have very high, cultured conversations.
The only one that seems to be able to hold the business is Disney. They do it is because they have a fabulous philosophy about marketing- but even they wavered.
I got out of the business when I got out. The hunger was out of my system.
I think I won't do for your business at all, but personally I have no fight with you. You can go on and save all the critics you can, but don't send them to me.
I'm glad I made business investments, because it gave me the confidence financially to make brave choices. If I hadn't done that, I'd still have been trying to play 19-year-olds in films. I know there are other avenues for me.
Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society.
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.
My business has doubled in ways I couldn't have imagined.
I've been in show business for 50, no, 60 years. I was approached in school to join a variety act.
I can take more punishment than anyone in the business.
I prospered very quickly. Very quickly, I became politically empowered. I was running my own business.
Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while, and then have a hell of a close.
For the most part, I think American armies are awfully good in the business of protecting civilians, of not going over the line.
In the same way that you're driven in your business to keep innovating - Facebook is a wonderful example of constant innovation - think about doing that in philanthropy.
I am a sensitive writer, actor and director. Talking business disgusts me. If you want to talk business, call my disgusting personal manager.
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 got active in this business of politics and self-government in 1958 when my father, who was serving in the U.S. Army, took us to the battlefield of Verdun.
Everything I do in business - and in the kitchen, period, I believe - goes from 1940 to 1978. It's the right way. It's the old way.
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.
I mean, sports are big, big, big business.
Most of your day is spent working, and being in a band is no different. We're just business travelers in a way.
There's no one I trust in show business more than Sabrina Wind. She's my eyes and ears when I can't be there. She weighs in on everything, from scripts to sets to advertising.
My father was in the coal business in West Virginia. Both dad and mother were, however, originally from Massachusetts; New England, to them, meant the place to go if you really wanted an education.
Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
Now, when it's time to get down to business, I get down to business.
I intentionally built a business that has absolutely nothing to do with appearance.
The one thing a lifetime in the newspaper business teaches you is pace - you spend all your time trying to make sure that the reader's going to finish what you're writing.
I'm very happy to be employed. I always contend that in show business that if you're employed, then you're successful.
