The biggest danger of Hollywood becoming a purely corporate town resides in the creative process.
I’d done my time in corporate America, from McDonald’s making shakes to Morgan Stanley making deals and, yet, I felt awfully constrained by the uniform – not just my clothes, but how I felt I needed to conform – that a traditional job required me to wear.
To be honest, I never, ever thought I’d ever do comedy. I was so frequently cast early on as a high-born young man with… ‘problems’ and, later, as a heavy, from black-hatted western villains to the corporate raider to bad cops.
We need to get the corporate money out of the political system and return democracy to the people.

I support both a Fair Tax and a Flat Tax plan that would dramatically streamline the tax system. A Fair Tax would replace all federal taxes on personal and corporate income with a single national tax on retail sales, while a Flat Tax would apply the same tax rate to all income with few if any deductions or exemptions.
There are ways that we can manipulate the corporate media to talk about the issues that we care about.

I know things like a 20% corporate tax rate will allow us to be more competitive in the global marketplace. That’s what our competitors enjoy today around the world. And when we’re more competitive, we win in the marketplace, and that allows us to invest and grow for the future.
Corporate career is like my wife, and writing is my girlfriend. My priority is the first but enjoy doing the second, as I have taken to writing as a stress-beater.
Corporate America cannot afford to remain silent or passive about the downward spiral we are undergoing. It cannot turn a blind eye to how difficult the experience of life is for so many of their customers.
I don’t want corporate America to think they can continue their duplicitous double-dealing.
I do make lots of spelling mistakes still – for a time, the word ‘corporate’ on my website was spelled ‘corprate.’ But I’m not embarrassed. The way I see it, it is part of me. The key is to become completely confident about it.
I don’t really do any corporate gigs or I don’t really cash in which is a bit silly and much to the annoyance of my family. I’d rather just do gigs that I like and TV shows that I like rather than personal appearances at a nightclub.
My parents, or Asian parents in general, they’re like, ‘You should be a doctor, a lawyer, or a banker’ – all that’s laid out. As a kid that’s what I bought into, which is why I ended up going the corporate route initially.
This notion that we’re going to prop up foreign governments, that we’re going to invade other countries for some kind of perceived benefit where we’re going to install somebody who’s going to be supportive of American interests or American corporate private interests needs to stop.
Maybe this is my left-wing conspiracy theory, but the right has re-branded itself as kind of the everyman party: Who’s the person you’d rather have a beer with? The Republican Party, even though it’s a party of incredible wealth and corporate interests, has hidden behind this everyman quality.
You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that’s what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.
Trade is the key to the economic outlook in Britain and the E.U. Many corporate chieftains joined large bank CEOs and the fearmongering IMF to suggest that the E.U. will deal harshly with Britain if it leaves and stop all trade. That’s mutually assured destruction – MAD.

Corporate tweets are like one robot talking to another.
At D.O.J., we don’t want to go after the corporate wrongdoers simply as an end unto itself; we want to decrease the amount of corporate wrongdoing that happens in the first place. We want to restore and help protect the corporate culture of responsibility.
Led Zeppelin wasn’t a corporate entity.
My failed corporate career became the fodder for the ‘Dilbert’ comic. Once it became clear I would not be climbing any higher on the corporate ladder, it freed me to mock managers without worrying that it would stall my career. Most failures create some sort of unplanned freedom. I took full advantage of mine.
I’m going to explore the possibility that my future work could be in public service rather than corporate work.
Taking on corporate greed is an environmental concern.
‘Survivor’ wouldn’t have happened had I not gone out there and helped CBS to sell sponsors to finance the first one. Part of my thinking on ‘Survivor’ was that it should have rewards that are corporate brands. A Big Mac, one thimble-full of Coca-Cola.
Sometimes people who sell books are seen as corporate salesmen, and people who sell reading are seen as literacy advocates, but you can’t really separate the two.
If corporate leaders and their acolytes are not slaves to some meritorious social purpose, they run the risk of being enslaved by their own ignoble appetites.

The problem for new businesses isn’t corporate taxes. Anyone who has actually started a new business knows you don’t make enough money for years to pay any meaningful tax on it.
‘The Apprentice’ has been excellent for my dad. Before, there was always that kind of corporate, Napoleonic evilness to Donald Trump. Now people see him interacting with normal – barely normal – individuals, and it’s like, ‘Wait a second. He’s a regular guy!’
Big money and corporate interest drown out a lot of voices.
I did a corporate gig where I presented on stage for an hour and was paid 12,000. I felt so guilty. It is still hard for me to accept I can earn that sort of money for an hour of my time.
