If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not you're putting yourself out of business.

The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think 'Well you say I'm a pop star so maybe that's not true.'

There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO. Fire yourself on a Friday night and come in on Monday morning as if a search firm put you there as a turn-around leader. Can you be objective and make the bold change?

There is no substitute for accurate knowledge. Know yourself know your business know your men.

To me business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

The golden rule for every business man is this: 'Put yourself in your customer's place.'

In business for yourself not by yourself.

The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.

In this business by the time you realize you're in trouble it's too late to save yourself. Unless you're running scared all the time you're gone.

If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
