I won’t feel I’m Roman’s boss just because I’m his dad. I’ve never had that relationship with him at all. It wasn’t the way we brought him up. We were friends. If Roman did something wrong, I showed that he hurt me rather than telling him off.
If women talk in ways expected of them or project a feminine demeanor, it’s seen as weak. But if they talk in ways associated with men or bosses, then they’re seen as too aggressive. Whatever they do violates one or the other expectation: either you’re not talking as you should as a woman or as boss.
The show runner’s the boss until the network shows up. And then they’re the boss, because it’s their money.
The thing about having true fans, it seems, is that they remain loyal to their idea of what the work meant to them. And that might make them more exacting than the toughest studio executive or publishing boss.
Dick Wolf was my first boss after coming out of Sarah Lawrence.
Seven-11 is the pulse-beat of America. I think that Bruce Springsteen should do a song about a 7-11 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, but write it in such a way that American’s youth can identify and slurp along with the Boss. Hail the Boss! Hail 7-11!
I’d rather not think about the unpleasant side of the experience. ‘Bigg Boss’ is the biggest reality-show in India and perhaps in the world. I went into it on a clean slate.
It’s not like a boss and artist relationship; it’s like a big brother to a younger brother relationship, and he’s a great guy. So big shout-out to Akon and the Konvict Muzik crowd.
OK, boss, I don’t mind shuffling, but I won’t scratch my head.
If you give the boss all the decision-making power, they see the world through their eyes. The big innovations are generally such a shift that they won’t see it. For a long time, it looked like it was just inevitable that you would get slow and bureaucratic.
I use Bogner amps and custom-designed Schecter guitars with Seymour Duncan Invader pickups. I beef up my tone with a Boss CS- 3 Compression Sustainer. It’s kinda like my secret weapon.
‘Bigg Boss’ was not a house, it was a house-like situation and being an actor, I had to take care of the way I looked on screen.

I worked with many great assistants to Sir Alex Ferguson over the years. Yet sometimes a manager’s second-in-command is more suited to that role than any other. You confide in them – you tell them things that you would not tell the manager – and they are that bridge between the boss and the players.
After ‘Homeland,’ I was offered a lot of very authoritarian, square, angry boss types, but I wanted to do something different. Casting directors are surprised when they look at my CV and see all the work I’ve done, from Shakespeare to playing Nelson Mandela.
Working for a magazine, you have a boss; you are not free.
On the set of ‘Girlboss,’ I had to keep introducing myself as the show runner – literally, ‘Hi, I’m the boss’ – to a lot of my crew. My first AD said, ‘Why do you keep doing that?’ I said, ‘Because I get mistaken for an extra.’
I worked in the Senate in the 1970s. I worked for the Labor, Public Welfare Committee, and we had Ted Kennedy and my old boss, Bill Hathaway, and Walter Mondale.
My advice to women in general: Even if you’re doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want – and don’t allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge.
I’ve never run a company before, and I don’t want to feel like a boss. I just want to turn up and do my work.
In ‘Bigg Boss 12’ house one needs to make a mountain out of a molehill. It’s an art and I don’t specialise in it.
When you’re an assistant, you’re executing the wishes of your boss.
In ‘Bigg Boss Telugu,’ I had to be myself, not Jai. So, every weekend, when I went to the television show, it helped me to get back to my real self.
I had never been in charge of anything. I’d always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I’d never been in charge of an organization.
How can another man call another man boss? That’s like calling another man ‘Daddy.’
It is hard, though, ‘cos record labels love to boss you around. I won’t let them do that anymore.
Eventually, and thanks to my dad, I started working for Total Nonstop Action for $1,000 a show. He was the boss, right under Dixie Carter. TNA wasn’t doing too well at that point, but I had a job making okay money.
I’ve never wanted to be the boss.
I have no memory of ‘Bigg Boss.’
My first day as a manager was at Digital Equipment in Atlanta. I was a sales rep. I was promoted from among my peers, so one day I was a peer, and the next day I was their boss.

I am pretty tough as a boss.
A lot of people thought of casting me in various things while I was still inside the ‘Bigg Boss’ house. When I came out, people were actually waiting for me so they could offer me new projects.
There are many people in the world who feel that if only they had a bigger car, a nicer house, better vacations, a more understanding boss, or a more interesting partner, then their life would work. We all go through that one. Slowly we wear out most of our ‘if onlies.’
I don’t think I’m supposed to boss other people around just because I’m a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I’ve seen it happen. I don’t call those people out – they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
Nobody is my boss.
Both Neil and I had done solo projects where we were the boss and I just thought that if he was willing to get into it, it would really be a good experience for him.
A good game gives us meaningful accomplishment – clear achievement that we don’t necessarily get from real life. In a game, you’ve beaten level four, the boss monster is dead, you have a badge, and now you have a super laser sword. Real life isn’t like that, right?
When I came to M.I.T. in 1960, only 4 percent of the students were female. Today, it’s about 40 percent of undergraduates. At Lincoln Lab, they had 1,000 men and two women. But we had a very good boss, and he treated us just like everybody else.
In business, there’s a saying: ‘Disagree and commit.’ It means that everyone should speak up before a decision is made. But once the boss has decided, you all get behind it to make it happen.
Being a boss has been one of the greatest privileges and challenges of my life.
Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.
Mr. Trump, I really can’t comment, because he was my boss on ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ and I just don’t think we should let him be president until he produces evidence that the thing on his head is real. Because he wanted to see Obama’s birth certificate, we should ask for a certificate of real hair.
The boss is the captain on the cricket field. I am in charge of the coaching staff. That’s put into place. My job is to oversee things and see things go all right. Who cares who’s the boss? At the end of the day, you win and to hell with it, yaar.
I think that you find out what your boss wants you to do, and you do more. To me, that’s work ethic. Because, if you demonstrate that your capabilities extend past your current job, they’ll probably give you a better job.
Why do I want somebody to tell me what to do, tell me what I’m doing wrong? I want to be the boss.
I was working in customer service and had a verbally abusive boss. One day, I decided to quit and pursue my acting passion with everything I had. One week after quitting, I booked ‘One Life to Live.’
If people feel like the boss doesn’t respect them, they don’t stretch for the boss.
‘Bigg Boss’ is a game show, and everyone plays their game.
Us boss chicks have to continue to stick together and change the game.
There’s nothing better than being your own boss, especially after when you play soccer, you’re just controlled by so many different forces. So owning your own company and being your own bosses, it’s so liberating and freeing and you get to finally make decisions for yourself, which I think is really powerful.
