If you're thinking of acquiring a company and want to keep it a secret, tell everyone in the company; let them all in on the truth. Say, 'Listen, if this gets out, we'll probably lose the deal, so we're all in this together.'
Look, don't congratulate us when we buy a company, congratulate us when we sell it. Because any fool can overpay and buy a company, as long as money will last to buy it.
It is very similar to companies like Google and other internet companies. When you go and search on Google you don't pay for that. But sometimes you click on an advert and Google makes money on that.
The hardware manufacturers, game designers, cable companies and computer companies and, in fact, film studios are going to ensure that this thing marches on. They know that they are going to make an enormous amount of money from it.
I definitely think what drives technology companies is the people; because in a technology company it's always about what are you going to do next.
The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
You don't have to fear your own company being perceived as human. You want it. People don't trust companies; they trust people.
It’s impossible for a company to get what it wants most if managers have to make a choice between their own values and company priorities.
What managers want most from companies they stop themselves from getting. What companies want most from managers they stop them from giving.
The advantage of taking pictures of the famous is that they get published.
We do not like the truth because it is simple, we do not want the truth because it is hard, and we do not trust the truth because it is free. Perhaps because many are idealists and publishing is so frustrating, writers are particularly vulnerable to ...

Are you done briefing the company yet? We, um... Haven't gotten through the introductions yet. Allow me: Time-traveling Kevyn Andreyasn, this is the mercenary company "Tagon's Toughs." Company, this is the time-traveling Kevyn Andreyasn, who will hav...
Sulley: How can I do this? How could I be so stupid? This could ruin the company. Mike: The company? Who cares about the company? What about us? That thing is a KILLING MACHINE! [points at Boo, who is babbling harmlessly] Mike: I bet it's waiting for...
It reminds me of something Zelda told her friend about me when she didn’t think I was listening: “I wish he had even half Napolean’s height in ambition. Maybe then he could stand taller and be proud.
I needed to take her to a concert, or maybe invite her out to go stencil street art in the middle of the night. Except I hadn’t done that since middle school. And I’m not exactly Banksy with a can of spray paint.
From the corner of my eye I saw her. Of course this chance encounter with Rebecca wasn’t serendipitous. (I’m not throwing that word out there to illustrate my broad vocabulary, but rather to show that I am a John Cusack fan).
If I’m happy, my eyes are chestnut; if I’m surprised, my eyes are hazelnut; if I’m afraid, my eyes look like they just shit themselves; and if I’m crying, my eyes get lighter and greener, like an anorexic leprechaun.
One thing my grandpa taught me was never fall asleep while swimming. Or, rather, I’m sure he would have taught me that if he had the chance. (He drowned when he was a little boy.)
I wanted to study graphic design, because I wanted to work in an office with designer desks, ergonomic chairs, pool tables, and walls so colorful it looks like a flock of flamingoes exploded and splattered evenly from floor to ceiling.
I got a call back on a job query from a week ago. It’s for a front desk position at a luxury hotel on the beach. This would be perfect for me because when there are monied people around, I turn into a psycho sycophant.
