I always wanted to be a zookeeper when I was growing up and I've wound up a zookeeper! I've been working with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years! I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet because my life is divided absolutely in half - half animals and half show business. You can't ask for better than two things you love the most.

The business is a very tricky obstacle course and you should be very clear about work begetting work. If you're not working you're not interesting.

There are two ways to extend a business. Take inventory of what you're good at and extend out from your skills. Or determine what your customers need and work backward even if it requires learning new skills. Kindle is an example of working backward.

My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day.

We are at a crossroads in the music business: with the rise of the internet the world we live in has changed and the past is not coming back. But I see the glass as half-full: the internet and social networking are new avenues for the next Bob Dylan to be born on.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

My compulsion to always be working has become less strong and my current business is purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me.

Well there's different shades of Hollywood sure. I mean I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.

At the end of drama school I made a contract with myself: I'd try acting for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had seen enough small businesses to understand that that's what acting is: a small business.

I suppose that by being absent from the music business it appeared that I just dropped out but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.

I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you'.

I started out mopping floors waiting tables and tending bar at my dad's tavern. I put myself through school working odd jobs and night shifts. I poured my heart and soul into a small business. And when I saw how out-of-touch Washington had become with the core values of this great nation I put my name forward and ran for office.

Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think 'we're all in this together' is a better philosophy than 'you're on your own.'

The business of the poet is not to find new emotions but to use the ordinary ones and in working them up into poetry to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.

Inside every working anarchy there's an Old Boy Network.

Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people.

I've looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday my first check went straight to the bank.

The work ahead will be hard. These times demand the best of us - all of us but we can do this. Together we can do this. We can get this country working again. We can get this economy growing again. We can make the safety net safe again. We can do this.

I've been gone for a long time. I really want to give the fans something that they deserve to have. So I'm working really hard on this. I really want to make it the best work I've done so far.

The best teamwork comes from men who are working independently toward one goal in unison.

That's what happens nowadays with people working on computers. They can so easily fix things with their mouse and take out all the 'Oh somebody coughed in the background we need to take that out' - or somebody hit a bad note. Those are all the best moments.

Since I'm always working my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family.

After all the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself as to see all the other fellows busy working.

My everyday job is about superficial beauty but when I'm not working I prefer to work on my inner beauty - I read a lot I try to learn.
