We've got to lift our game tremendously. We'll sell our business news and information in print we'll sell it to anyone who's got a cable system and we'll sell it on the Web.

In business words are words explanations are explanations promises are promises but only performance is reality.

I think it is an immutable law in business that words are words explanations are explanations promises are promises - but only performance is reality.

The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.

Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other.

Your performance depends on your people. Select the best train them and back them. When errors occur give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House.

As a general rule the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.

An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false misleading fictitious mendacious - just dead wrong.

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

Far from creating a new formalism what these can yield is something far transcending surface values since they not only embody form as beauty but also form in which intuitions or ideas or conjectures have taken visible substance.

The game in beauty is changing so much if your product isn't high tech or can't make a unique performance claim - plump your lips reduce your lines look glossy and stay on for 24 hours - you can't go to market today. I'm not just talking about a $20 lipstick but a $5 lipstick!

Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.

If you go on stage with the wrong attitude or something in your performance is off you can lose an audience in the first minute. That first minute is crucial.

I think that the U.S. does have this very much more open attitude and I admire it very much and I think it's very important to the world. But the information and the discussion sometimes come too late after the effective decision has been made.

The jokes are great but what really matters for a comedian is his performance his whole attitude and the laughs that he gets between the jokes rather than on top of the jokes.

The best way to inspire people to superior performance is to convince them by everything you do and by your everyday attitude that you are wholeheartedly supporting them.

In every work of art the subject is primordial whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist's obsession with his subject the form is always in proportion to the obsession.

Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera theater music and dance are thriving all over the world but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s.

I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form but as a medium of information.

'Untitled' is a time machine that can transport you to 1992 an edgy moment when the art world was crumbling money was scarce and artists like Tiravanija were in the nascent stages of combining Happenings performance art John Cage Joseph Beuys and the do-it-yourself ethos of punk. Meanwhile a new art world was coming into being.

It took me twenty years to get Steven Parrino's work. From the time I first saw his art in the mid-eighties I almost always dismissed it as mannered Romantic formulaic conceptualist-formalist heavy-metal boy-art abstraction.

I was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'

Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.

What starts the process really are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence personal gut performance.
