It seems to me we are losing our way in an effort to get the ratings.

I do most of my business on that dirty Internet that you were just talking about, where I find there is a lot of freedom to report exactly what I want.

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.

Business? It's quite simple; it's other people's money.

There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.

But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.

Emotions have no place in business, unless you do business with them.

I'll keep on acting 'til they wipe the drool. I like the business. I like to do different parts and diverse characters. I haven't lost my enthusiasm yet!

Somewhere along the line, Bob said I'd better begin taking this business seriously, because, whether I liked it or not, I had a career.

No, I did night clubs right here in Los Angeles. My partner, Phil Erickson, put me in the business, a guy from my home town, a dear friend who we just lost a couple of months ago.

I think the saddest moment in my life just happened two months ago. My old nightclub partner passed away, Phil Erickson down in Atlanta. He - I owe him everything. He put me in the business and taught me about everything I know.

I think it's being thrown at the wolves, we call it in our business.

I learned everything that I know about comedy and about show business and a lot about life from Carl.

I've seen disgusting excess in business, and I've seen disgusting excess in Washington. But at the same time, I've certainly learned that Washington matters and that you can't ignore it, especially when you get into telecom.

From the business point of view - not to overstate it - intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.

Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

We must advertise to U.S. business that we are there, that our attitude has changed, and that we care. When we are asked to help, we have to perform and provide the right advice.

We have to spend a lot more time training people to be good advocates of U.S. business.

There is a natural partnership between State and Commerce, and the American business community to work together to educate the United States about marketing overseas.
