To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
The cliche is that life is a mountain. You go up, reach the top and then go down.
In my top five favorite movies is a movie called ‘Heavy Weights.’ I was a chunkier kid and dreamed of going to fat camp with go-karts and stuff. That was written by Judd Apatow.
It’s like tabloid news programs that talk about how horrible something is, while at the same time they’re glorifying it as their top story.
I have the Midas touch, in the way that when I hook up with a project, I feel, not speaking cocky or conceited, but there’s a confidence I have.

Truman fired the popular Gen. Douglas MacArthur because he disobeyed orders in the Korean War. Johnson knew that he had reached the endgame in Vietnam when Gen. William Westmoreland, the top commander in Vietnam, requested 240,000 more troops in 1968 for the prolonged war that also could not be won.
On the other hand, I have devoted so much energy to reach the top that I accept the stress of being there.
Asian parents, or a lot of parents in general, they have no idea what goes on in this industry. Mine were born in the Philippines, where it’s different, because it is about who you know, and who knows what you have to do to get to the top? So they had a lot of that skepticism.
To a lot of people, I might just be the guy who went No. 1 in the draft. Or the guy who lost his job to Colin Kaepernick. Or the guy who helped turn a 2-14 Chiefs team into a back-to-back division champ… but then couldn’t put them over the top.

The tax relief that this Congress has given now in terms of four tax cuts has overwhelmingly gone to the people at the very top of the income scale in America.
Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top.

Physically, the top players are on a different level to other players, and that’s why they’re on the top.
The Smothers Brothers have a good show, bul CBS is going to have to spend an awful lot of money to keep it going with top guest stars. A variety show is very expensive.
I’m always glad to be offered roles, but wouldn’t take any role as this could do you more harm than good, but I’ve been at what they call ‘on the top’ as far as being known for twenty years.
Now that I’m on top, everyone wants to bring me down. Everyone’s trying to tug at me and take my spot.
I want to go out at the top, but the secret is knowing when you’re at the top, it’s so difficult in this business, your career fluctuates all the time, up and down, like a pair of trousers.

Naturally enough when I was a young dancer, I was terribly anxious to get ahead, and to get ahead quickly. I was impatient with all those older people who talked of the long grind to the top, who turned me down for jobs I knew I could do.
At the top of the cycle you write policies for everybody, no matter how bad, and at the bottom you cancel everybody, no matter how good. It’s a manic-depressive cycle.

In 1969, when I graduated from Harvard Law School, women and minorities made up a tiny fraction of the first year associates accepted by top law firms.
I think one of the things I’ve learned is that the tone of an organization is set from the top down. And if you have men running an organization that want to honor women, that’s a whole different experience than if they don’t.
Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain – at least in a poor country like Russia – and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.

Why is Cloud 9 so amazing? What is wrong with Cloud 8? That joke came off the top of my head, and the top of my head ain’t funny!
Activism doesn’t always mean laying in the streets and getting arrested and shouting ‘hell no, we won’t go’ at the top of your lungs.
There’s this weird game called ‘Blueberry Garden.’ For that game an artist recorded some piano music, but evidently he only had a really terrible microphone on top of the piano, and I really liked it and wanted to experiment with that. So, I made piano recording and really mangled it, and kept experimenting with the technique.
