The biggest deal for me was that all 24 winners are placed on the Billboard CD of the Year, which went out to 500 of the biggest Music Reps in the business, from radio and press to management and booking.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world.

American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.

I think any man in business would be foolish to fool around with his secretary. If it's somebody else's secretary, fine.

When I went on to write my next book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills.

The owners don't win by having a lockout. Shutting down your business is not good for anybody and it's certainly not good for the players, it's certainly not good for the fans. And that's most important to us.

My wife and I have been together since 1986. I graduated in '86 and she graduated in '88. We began dating when she was 17. Actually she turned 18 when we started kissing and stuff.

I always have this feeling that I'm losing everything, so I'm a real saver.

But certainly the laser proved to be what I realized it was going to be. At that moment in my life I was too ignorant in business law to be able to do it right, and if I did it over again probably the same damn thing would happen.

There's nobody in show business that I dislike so I wouldn't want to get in there to hurt anybody.

I'm competitive with myself, but not with other people. I set goals for myself. I don't really care about winning or losing as long as I do my best.
