My experiences have been, from the very beginning, cultural and creative. And my business has been a way of exposing the culture, exposing the artists so that the world could hear and see them.
Russell Simmons

Nicholas Sparks

No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.

Banks properly established and conducted are highly useful to the business of the country, and will doubtless continue to exist in the States so long as they conform to their laws and are found to be safe and beneficial.
Martin Van Buren

You know, there's a big lie in this business. The lie is that it's okay to go out in flames. But that doesn't do anybody much good. I may be wrong, but I think Hendrix was trying to come around.
Stevie Ray Vaughan

Business? It's quite simple; it's other people's money.
Alexandre Dumas

Charlie Sheen

Because Ritchie Valens WAS the real deal. He was only starting, but in the time he spent in the business, he made big impact. I don't know if anybody could have made a bigger one.
Waylon Jennings

Barry White

No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.
Samuel Beckett

Death is a billion-dollar business. They can't even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don't you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver's license? It's totally insane.
John Cusack

As you grow in this business, you learn how to do more with less.
Morgan Freeman

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Van Morrison

Morgan Freeman

Politics is a people business. I like people.
Laura Bush

I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.

There's no damn business like show business - you have to smile to keep from throwing up.
