A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy so that his people are not afraid to approach him for any reason.
I think of animals more as spirits that come and go. They enter our lives at a particular time and they leave at a particular time. The whole glorious history of animals with people is about joy and connection. It's about loving this creature and letting this creature love you.
Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
When our bodies are sick and people extend their sympathy, bring us soup, offer up solutions. When our minds are sick, people tend to shy away from you, be afraid, or call you outright crazy. I'm fascinated by the way society and individuals view mental illness, and most of my shorts comment on that.
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
We are losing sight of civility in government and politics. Debate and dialogue is taking a back seat to the politics of destruction and anger and control. Dogma has replaced thoughtful discussion between people of differing views.
All of my favorite people — people I really trust — none of them were cool in their younger years.
When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.
One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don't go into government.
Having been in the restaurant business, our job in the restaurant business is to be responsible for our customers' happiness. It's the nature of the hospitality business. You need to take care of people. You take care of customers above all others. Customers are your lifeblood.
Money is a very important tool to make a big difference in people's life. It is positive or negative depending on the values.
Money management has been a profession involving a lot of fakery — people saying they can beat the market, and they really can't.
I don't like it when people don't look me dead in the eye. I move my head around trying to catch their eye.
I know my flaws before other people point them out to me.
Bad psychoanalysis would say I enjoyed pleasing people, working really hard and pleasing people, which is probably related to my father in some way. But I really liked working hard. When I worked at Disneyland, I'd do 12 hours straight and go home thrilled.
Facts from paper are not the same as facts from people. The reliability of the people giving you the facts is as important as the facts themselves.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
We define family in many different ways: not just by blood but by people with whom we find a common ground and a common bond.
I work hard, and I'm thankful people recognize that.
