When I was in New York I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.

The way you continue to be a successful business is you don't wait for the car to go off the cliff. You have to manage yourself. And make sure you do it in the right way so you are not making decisions in crisis.

We go through the whole season working on next season's car and developing the car and making sure we fit in the car and all that sort of stuff. And we obviously give ideas of what we would hope next year's car would have even if it's small things like buttons on the steering wheel and different positions and whatever.

Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork other times like a car accident.

When you put gas in your car you are making a political statement because you are supporting the empires that control and continue the destruction of some countries.

I'm gonna be making records anyway even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.

It's a never ending battle of making your cars better and also trying to be better yourself.

The greatest pleasure when I started making money was not buying cars or yachts but finding myself able to have as many freshly typed drafts as possible.

I mean I'm in the business of storytelling not message making.

Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.

I learned what I really love is making films not the film business. I want to be on the set meeting with writers I want that freedom. I love it now.

I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh volatile business and unless you can be ruthless too there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

My business is the enforcement of the tax laws and the integrity of the tax code and making sure that trustees of charitable giving are true trustees.

Do business managers have a commitment to anything more than the success of their company and to making money? It would be hard to say that they do. Indeed many business leaders deny that there is any conflict between self-interest and the interests of all.

There is no business in America that would be prevented from taking results into account when making personnel decisions.

Interest in business ethics courses has surged and student activities at leading business schools are more focused than ever before on making business serve long-term social values.

My compulsion to always be working has become less strong and my current business is purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me.
