Businesspeople From The United States

"If you spend hours and hours of your life acquiring money and then die without spending all of that money, then you’ve needlessly wasted too many precious hours of your life. There is just no way to get those hours back. If you die with $1 million left, that’s $1 million of experiences you didn’t have. And if you die with $50,000 left, well, that’s $50,000 of experiences you didn’t have. No way is that optimal."

"The entire research community together advances the state of the art."

"When we’re infants, we get very little enjoyment out of money. Babies are expensive to take care of, true, but it’s not like they get a lot of enjoyment from spending money. When you’re a baby, there’s no greater happiness than Mom and the crib. In a way, the amount of utility that babies get from money is very similar to what the elderly get. Money is nearly worthless at the very beginning and the very end of life."

"It’s a very interesting question these days, because it used to be that research looks five years forward and advanced development is much shorter term."

"I was 35 when I got into this business and the prospect of becoming a so-called sex symbol at this stage was."

"I was somewhat taken aback as I was easily ten years older than almost every other woman."

"I was raising a child at the time."

"Where’s the element of danger and funkiness that generated so much excitement?”"

"I miss seeing a hooker or a guy taking a leak in a doorway somewhere."

"A failed person who never took responsibility for her own actions, but rather blamed every ill thing that had happened in her life on the fact that she’d once briefly been in this industry."

"It offends me deeply."

"I despise the Vegas meets Disneyland hell-hole that it’s become."

"If it come to that, frankly, I don’t see us losing."

"This could turn into a real test of free speech under the First Amendment."

"Get it out of my system."

"Why should my choice be considered any less or more valid than your choice?."

"I said the whole point of the women’s movement is for women to choose whatever they want to do."

"I was at his apartment in Manhattan and he broke out some cocaine and we drank some champagne, and we were groping a bit on the couch in the living room and he said “Let’s move this into my bedroom”."

"At that point I realized what was expected of me, and frankly I was ready walk out of there straight away."

"I go into the bathroom and while I’m in the bathroom changing and primping, I hear my own voice coming out of the bedroom, and so I march out and sure enough on the TV screen in the master bedroom is a film of mine."

"If it’s a performance you want, it’s a performance you’ll get."

"There was a newscaster, a TV journalist in New York."

"We’d met and we had a couple of dates sans sex and there was some chemistry and we were getting along quite well, so finally the big night arrived."

"I thought you’d get a big kick out of this."

"I said “I don’t understand, why are you playing this."

"I made damn sure that was the end of that relationship."

"Building tech companies is about identifying problems, engineering solutions, and executing strategies that lead to different, scalable outcomes. What do I mean by scalable? Meaning the solution must be repeatable for the greatest number of customers without having to change small details."

"There are similarities though. Audigent at its core is a programmatic advertising company. They use innovative tech to improve the way online ads reach people, resulting in improved performance and engagement. Originally, Audigent was doing this in partnership with the three major record labels (Warner, Sony and Universal), which created a new revenue source for the music business. Revenue derived 100% from data as opposed to music, streaming, or touring."

"With FilmHedge I looked at Film and TV finance and asked myself a question: “If thousands of movies and TV shows are funded every year, why is the process of raising and closing money always so different for each of them?” That’s horribly inefficient. FilmHedge streamlines the process to make it more efficient."

"For me, the journey was Film, then Tech and Venture Capital, then back to Film."

"I went to school at Savannah College of Art and Design in 1999 to study film production. Then when I got out of college one of my first jobs was working on Tyler Perry’s first movie “Diary of Mad Black Woman.” I ended up working at his company for a few years. Then in 2008 I left the film industry to pursue tech, founding successful companies like Audigent"

"So you can make people do anything, but is that sustainable? And guess how we know it's not sustainable? Because we've been at this work for so many years and we haven't liked it. So there's something to be said about having conversations, getting people to humanize relationships. Looking someone in the eye and seeing the humanity of the relationship and then people getting comfortable with that. It's very different to write about something and to make assumptions about what someone's intent is versus sitting down and looking them in the eye and seeing the humanity of who they are."

"Lots of dimensions, I would say at the highest level. Producing the league's first-ever diversity, equity and inclusion impact report of October 2022 was a milestone for the league. Not just in terms of the transparency of information from demographics of the league and the clubs, but also the development of the seven-point framework that is really governing how we're creating consistency across the league and all the clubs.I think events like this point to the fact that we are beginning to normalize in the sport of hockey these conversations. I often say getting comfortable with uncomfortable conversations. And I think that the league has played a role in helping create an environment up and down the hockey spine, the ecosystem that brings us to a moment where we can all engage in a real productive way in these types of conversations."

"I’ve always been a proponent – throughout my entire career and my life – of women in leadership roles,And so the importance of understanding the intersection of gender, race and ethnicity as it relates to women of color, to be able to see the representation here both as fans, as employees on and off the ice, it tells me that despite what might be appearing to be in some ways setbacks in our country and even across the globe that we should still be very encouraged by what opportunities lie in front of us for women and women of color."

"Well, I mean, are you ever moving fast enough when you are behind in any kind of changes? If you look at the history of those who have been on the front line of change, you have to be prepared for a certain level of criticism and you can't let that be daunting. We're all human — I'm not going to do everything that is going to be pleasing to everyone, I'm going to have mistakes and disagreements with people. But I think as long as we are collectively making progress and we are making people who have otherwise not felt comfortable in the sport of hockey, feel comfortable and start feeling well-heard and ushering in a new era, I'm OK with the criticism."

"I don't personally agree with that. I think you make far more progress in any kind of change effort by educating people and allowing them to come to a change process through their own desires. That's my own personal belief system in change. I've seen it be more far effective than a punitive approach."

"People have far more stake in things when they can bring themselves to it through their own volition. That's not the approach I support in the change effort. That's how I would be thinking of it."

"I would say a more proactive approach to understanding the work that is going on behind the scenes that's not the salacious or the sexy work, but to help readers and consumers to really understand holistically what goes into the change process. And then it helps people understand that it's not as simple as turning on a switch or telling someone what to do. That might help you in the moment but this is a journey. And it's a journey of change that you want people to believe in it and adapt it and adopt it."

"As many women we see here in this stadium, we see an equal number of men,And it’s important to understand that the growth of any sport, the growth of any movement requires not only those who are part of the movement but allies who also participate in the movement.”"

"I am only one, but we are many."

"Both from on the ice and off the ice, we have seen a spectacular amount of growth as it relates to the female demographic and that happens because of commitment, intentionality and, of course, impact"

"But there's nothing like creating a business yourself. When things go wrong, there's no one to blame; when things go right, you just smile, do what you do and continue to give back."

"I tell people all the time that I'm living in my afterlife."

"Be prepared to get roughed up a little, but if you can stand it, you can do great things and change the world."

"“Everyone's voice is important. You need to talk to every culture you possibly can, just so that you can be aware of anything.”"

"I think together we can create change."

"I just hope to continue to spread the mission of being sweet and sweeting the lives of others."

"My goal is to make sure I get every voice at the table."

"when the whole world and all of your friends might tell you that the easiest thing is to turn around and go back, you should do the exact opposite. You should keep going forward, because in that walk and in that journey of staying, you do become powerful, and you become stronger. And you will fall, and you will hurt yourself, and you will cry. But as long as you get back up and keep going, that is where you’ll be made."

"At one point, it was all fun and games. I thought, 'I'll start a makeup brand, and I'm just going to have fun. But later, after going through breast cancer, things got real."
