In my executive advising role, my persona, which seems to work very well with both women and men, is being ‘the big brother you always wanted.’ I am fortunate to have two such big brothers, so this isn’t just a theoretical construct. Mark Goulston Read Quote
I grew up in the Bronx. I used to remember going to all these fancy stores in Manhattan to run errands or whatever, and I felt intimidated, like they did not talk to me because I was from the Bronx. I never want anyone to be intimidated by fashion. Fashion is fun or, at least, should be. Mickey Drexler Read Quote
People ask me if I ever get sick of playing ‘Daydream Believer’ or whatever. But I don’t look at it that way. Do they ask if Tony Bennett is tired of ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco?’ Davy Jones Read Quote
The best divorce is the kind where there are no children. That was my first divorce. You walk out the door and you never look back. Nora Ephron Read Quote
I call crony capitalism, where you take money from successful small businesses, spend it in Washington on favored industries, on favored individuals, picking winners and losers in the economy, that’s not pro-growth economics. That’s not entrepreneurial economics. That’s not helping small businesses. That’s cronyism, that’s corporate welfare. Paul Ryan Read Quote
I started piano like my sisters. After one year or two, I didn’t like it anymore. Then, because I like trumpet, I played the cornet. When you are 7, you can’t play trumpet – you play cornet. And something didn’t go well. The teacher was too hard. Too rough. Suddenly, there was this instrument, the flute, that I could immediately play. Alexandre Desplat Read Quote
