My father was an inspiration to me I made a few movies with him and I loved working with him. Everything about him - his whole approach to work as well as his love enthusiasm and respect for it and other people in the business - was inspiring. I was very lucky to have him as a role model.

Stand-up don't get no respect - it's the hardest thing to do in show business. You don't have no band and there's no music.

This acting's serious! And I really respect those actors. It's a tough business to be able to be something you're not and be natural and convince people on camera.

I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe.

If you have to fight a crowd of boys it's best to go for the biggest one. That way you won't have to fight them all. The others will see that you mean business and you will win their respect.

My parents started a business out of the living room of our home and 30-plus years later it was a multimillion dollar company. So President Obama with all due respect don't tell me that my parents didn't build their business.

I've always had a great respect for the picture business. It's been good to me.

My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far I think it's respect and quality and company not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

I love Johnny Cash and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business but no he's never been the rebel.

Think about all the great leaders. Think about Obama. Think about Clinton. Think about Nelson Mandela. Think about all the people that we know who are very successful in business in politics and religion. What are they? They tell purposeful stories. They move people to action by aiming at the heart.

It was my first big relationship and it was just very abusive. I wouldn't give him the credit of naming him if he ever reads this. But he was older in the music business - or so he said.

There are very few people that I deal with from a business side that it's just strictly a one-sided business relationship. I think that's important.

I have this home in New York I have a long-term relationship with my boyfriend who's from Australia and I had this business that I had maintain. Even though I wasn't actively shooting there's a lot of peripheral work.

Most of my relationships have been like that - with record companies. I've never had a legitimate business relationship with a company. I've always had a personal relationship with someone in the company.

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 players wanted more money higher salary caps and they didn't have that family relationship we felt with the players. Mentally the players were more businesslike.

Anyone working for a big company might be skeptical that a large business or even a strictly online business can form the same kind of friendly loyal relationship with customers as a local retailer. I'm saying it's already been done because I lived it.
