It's a choice that you make and there's consequences. It's something you have to own.

Just keep asking questions. Does this job allow me to be myself? Does it make me smarter? Does it open doors? Does it represent a compromise I accept? Does it touch my inner being?

Ask yourself: Does the job touch my heart and feed my soul? You will never be what you were meant to be if you aren't having fun.

We call it your area of destiny. We urge people to build their careers at that intersection of what they're uniquely good at ... and what you love to do.

It used to be you rose up through the ranks, and by the time you got a job as a boss, you had done the work of everybody beneath you.

Business is business and politics is politics and never between shall meet.

When I first met Jack, I was terrified of him. I wasn't expecting a fun, laughing, enjoyable, exciting guy. I walked into his office like most people, with my knees knocking together. I was scared.

You should ask for a performance evaluation. Ask your boss, where do I stand? I need to know what I can do better and what I'm doing well.

Most people don't know where they stand. One day their boss gives them an eye roll, and it can set back their whole day. It causes enormous stress.

You've got to dig in [and learn about things you don't know] if you want to stay in the conversation.

I love the way business works, when there's a crisis or a scandal, there is blood on the floor. Somebody pays, people are held accountable, that's just not politics.

When you're in political times, you want to reflect those political times, and sometimes going back to our past is the best way to look at our present.

In the face of adversity, you find out if you're a fighter or a quitter. It's all about getting up after you've been knocked down.

Believe that you will succeed, and you will.

A man doesn't say I will starve myself to death to keep from starving, or that he'd spend all of his money to save money. Why should he be willing to die for the privilege of living?

Peace on earth and mercy mild are still possible. On Christmas Eve, all things are possible.

I never stopped photographing. There were a couple of years when I didn't have a darkroom, but that didn't stop me from photographing.

A great moment of clarity when I realized I'm dying. There's no reason to wait to do the things we want to do.

You don't have to pray to attract great things, because great things are attracted to you already. Pray that you won't throw them away once they get here.

Listen - I like musicals. Even when they're bad, there's a couple of dancers I can watch.

When I go to a premiere I like to borrow lovely clothes and shoes from designers. It's like the library: if you return them in good condition, you get to borrow more. I'm very lucky.
