Pastoral Resources

Part of me looks at the gay movement now and worries that we're losing our individuality.

I learned that kids in show business are so different from regular, average students. They would gather behind you and help you to succeed in any way possible.

I've now returned to the business again because I finally realised that I really enjoy the creative process.

The greatest business people I've met are determined to get it right no matter what the cost.

Most entrepreneurs are merely technicians with an entrepreneurial seizure. Most entrepreneurs fail because you are working IN your business rather than ON your business.

My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.

Being tiny has been difficult for me in a business that regarded physicality as the most important part of your life.

It's true that I tend to daydream. I'm the same person in business as I am in music: I can be distracted and absentminded. It's my style.

Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine, and eminently unsatisfying.

No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or 'get rich' in business by being a conformist.

To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.

What I learned at Oxford has been used to great advantage throughout my business career.

During the 1950s, Aristotle Onassis and I formed what grew to be a close friendship and association in several business ventures.

A marriage contract to me is as binding as any in business, and I have always believed in sticking to an agreement.

This whole business feels kind of intense, like a bad fit. Round peg, square hole. But whatever, I'll take it.

One of the biggest problems out there that I hear from my friends in the business community is that there's no lending, that it's tough to get a loan today.

I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I don't, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music.

Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do.

This business is about working. It's really not about glamour. For me, the most glamorous thing about it is to b able to get on stage and perform my music for people. That's the privilege. And that's what all the work leads up to, and that's why it's worth it to me.

The blessings we evoke for another descend upon ourselves.
