I have almost no interest in quarterly reports. Running a business or investing in a business based on quarterly earnings doesn't make any sense at all to me.
I don't want to sound disingenuous here - controversy is obviously good for business, especially if your business is satire. And it does amplify the discussion - in my view, a good thing.
For businesses, biomimicry is about bringing a new discipline - biology - to the design table. It's not to write an environmental impact statement, as most biologists in business do right now.
Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.
I started in the supermarket business in the early '70s. And by '75, '76, I realized you don't have a business unless you own the real estate.

I designed collections around whatever struck my fancy... fruits, vegetables, politics, or peacocks! I entered in with no business sense.
I have received more fulfillment and adulation than I would ever know what to do with in terms of show business.
The problem is that many times people suspend their common sense because they get drowned in business models and Harvard business school teachings.

Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.
I wanted to be in this business, and once I got into the business I knew I enjoyed it, and I liked it, and I wanted to continue, but I never had a five year plan.
