The basic principle which I believe has contributed more than any other to the building of our business as it is today, is the ownership of our company by the people employed in it.
I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.
I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me.
If you go out to Hollywood you'll find a lot of fantastic plastic people there in the business and a lot of people in life generally. They find it so hard to be themselves that they have to be plastic.
If I died tomorrow, I would regret growing so wealthy and still running the business when there are so many more people I could have helped.
When the government gets involved in pricing, I don't think it's the right way to look at a business.
I don't think an actor's job is to be recognized. I think an actor's job is to facilitate the writing in a way that changes the way people think. No other business does that.
Acting just happens to be my skill, but I think I would probably be just as happy being a technician or entering into the film business in some other way.
Novelists are in the business of constructing consciousness out of words, and that's what we all do, cradle to grave. The self is a story we tell.
I love getting out the house because writing is such a solitary business that even being at the library makes me feel part of the world.

It's an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater.
In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.
Now with all this movie business, everybody's coming around wanting to know everything that's happened since I was four. It's like going to an analyst.
The sad thing about any business I suppose, but in mine you see it particularly, is that you're always asked to do what you've already done.
I consider myself to be more real-sized than most of the actresses in California and in show business. They're very small. They're like miniature people.
Growing up, around the dinner table my father and I didn't talk sports. We talked business.
Don't make being a girl or a victim part of your stand-up act. If you encounter sexism in the business, don't bring it on stage; it's not funny.
