Americans chose a free enterprise system designed to provide a quality of opportunity not compel a quality of results. And that is why this is only place in the world where you can open up a business in the spare bedroom of your home.

You know who a complicated tax code kills? The guy or gal trying to start a business out of the spare bedroom of their home. So we've got to simplify our tax code.

I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I've never met a single job creator who's ever said to me I can't wait until government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job.

I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.

What I learned is that in business you must make decisions based on facts not react with your heart.

I can take more punishment than anyone in the business.

It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.

A guy named Charlie Beacham was my first mentor at Ford. He taught me the importance of the dealers and he rubbed my nose in the retail business.

When I've gone back to work it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.

The comic book world is a tough business.

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

I'm not into business at all.

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'm a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical and of course I watch it but for me it's pure.

I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall but at the same time I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it but I worry for my little one and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.

For me my business is my business and my house is my house. I don't want the public in my house.
