I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business.

As an actress emotions are my business my stock-in-trade. As such I've dealt with them nearly all my life.

Not since the digital revolution in the early '90s has technology placed such a comprehensive burden on business employees and individuals to reinvent their business plans services and products and themselves to keep pace with the changing marketplace.

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

It is clearly better that property should be private but the use of it common and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.

The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.

My ace in the hole as a human being used to be my capacity for remembering birthdays. I worked at it. Whenever I made a new friend I made a point of finding out his or her birthday early on and I would record it in my Filofax calendar.

I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year but I used the wrong paper. See the paper I used said 'Happy Birthday' on it. I didn't want to waste it so I just wrote 'Jesus' on it.

The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.

It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes.
