I leave CNN with the utmost respect love and admiration for the company and everyone who works here. This has been my family and shared endeavor for the past 27 years and I am forever grateful and proud of all that we have accomplished.

The people at the record company had asked me if I could write a song about my life my relationship with God and where I'm from. Well I can't write a song on purpose my songs come in a moment of inspiration or desperation.

Mandatory auditor rotation is designed to address a potential conflict of interest between a public company and its auditor. Because an auditor is hired and paid by the public company it audits the auditor's desire to maintain a good relationship with its client could conflict with its duty to rigorously question the client's financial statements.

Well we have a good working relationship with Microsoft at the development level. But let's not kid ourselves this is a company with enormous resources and talented people and there is a certain pride that comes along with that for them and for us.

Most of my relationships have been like that - with record companies. I've never had a legitimate business relationship with a company. I've always had a personal relationship with someone in the company.

I've never had a relationship with a record executive. I always went to the record company by someone that liked my playing. Then they would get fired and I'd be left with the record company. And then - because they got fired - the record company wouldn't do anything for me.

Anyone working for a big company might be skeptical that a large business or even a strictly online business can form the same kind of friendly loyal relationship with customers as a local retailer. I'm saying it's already been done because I lived it.

Every company has two organizational structures: The formal one is written on the charts the other is the everyday relationship of the men and women in the organization.

Blackheart Records being 25 years old represents staying power and the fact that we weren't able to get a record out through conventional means so we had to create this record company to put out our records if we wanted to be a band that had records to give out to their fans.

Marvelous is the power which can be exercised almost unconsciously over a company or an individual or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper good digestion good intellects and good looks.

Positivity that's one of the things I try to spread throughout my company and really anyone I come in contact with. Because as you know life's too short. You got to keep it positive and keep it fun.

We are a consumer company and our success is directly linked to our users trusting us. Therefore we have the same incentive as the user: they want to see relevant advertising so their experience of Google is positive and we want to deliver it.

Don't give up be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen.

And we can see the positive impacts right here at Solyndra. Less than a year ago we were standing on what was an empty lot.But through the Recovery Act this company received a loan to expand its operations. This new factory is the result of those loans.

The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same but it's far tougher now because record companies are run by financial people before they were run by creative people.

Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.

Cats have it all - admiration an endless sleep and company only when they want it.

If you would know strength and patience welcome the company of trees.

A new father quickly learns that his child invariably comes to the bathroom at precisely the times when he's in there as if he needed company. The only way for this father to be certain of bathroom privacy is to shave at the gas station.

The problem for me still today is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development who love good music good books good pictures good plays good company good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.

And you have a record company behind it this is a key too you need people to fight for your records at least a little bit. So if you have a great song it's catchy and you've got a little bit of help I think that's all you need. But there hasn't been that in music.

It's time for me to do things I like so I will be happy my wife will be happy my friends will be happy. I just want to do something I'm proud of. It's time for me to change. I could sign with a company for 10 movies and I'm the king of video and so what?

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know I run a theater company in New York I direct plays act in plays in movies so I try to keep it eclectic.
