Some people want fame popularity and huge sales. I've always hoped to have a really long career. So I've tried to make each of my creative decisions and business decisions to allow for longevity. As a side effect I got really famous and really big. I didn't realize the two could go together.

The most important decision I've made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me my homies from the neighborhood criminals. I just said 'Come on everybody we made it.' Then I had to realize we didn't make it. I made it.

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

I'm very free-spirited and crazy. I love to have fun and I like doing stupid things. At the same time I'm like a 35-year-old. I have a house. I have a car. I have a steady job. I have a business and I have to make serious decisions.

We as conservative intellectuals should not be in the business of making excuses for bad parliamentary decisions by Republican leaders in Congress.

What I learned is that in business you must make decisions based on facts not react with your heart.

Young people in the business have grown up and made the wrong decisions or bad decisions and haven't been good role models. To be someone that people look up to is important to me.

I have made the tough decisions always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing the next best thing is the wrong thing and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
