I can still boss people around. I can still write. I can still read. I can still eat, and I can still have very strong views. – Tony Judt
A lot of people in my generation don’t seem to get that you have to work your way up. I don’t care if filing invoices is beneath you. If you don’t do it, who do you think is going to? Your boss? Nope. That’s why she hired you. – Sophia Amoruso
The type of contract between players and producers is, I feel, antiquated in form and abstract in concept. We have no privacies which producers cannot invade, they trade us like cattle, boss us like children. – Teresa Wright
What made me this way was watching my father go through bad employment experiences. When I was 17, and he was 65, I saw him go through the experiences working for a boss that was rude and obnoxious. I swore if I was ever had the capacity to run a company that I would do it in a different way. – Tom Golisano
Anyone who watches a lot of television, or listens to pop music, is familiar with a certain vision of America. If not exactly colorblind, this America is one in which different races easily interact, in which a white person might have an Asian boss, Hispanic stepson, or African-American frenemy. – Wesley Morris
I wanted to be my own boss. I was fascinated by airlines and how I could change travel for the average person. Then I wanted to diversify. – Stelios Haji-Ioannou
He isn’t a real boss until he has trained subordinates to shoulder most of his responsibilities. – William Feather
A powerful studio boss doesn’t want to be bested by a woman, even in chess. And a successful agent steps on a lot of toes. You lose actors jobs so you can get them for your own clients. – Sue Mengers
Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you’re in big trouble if you’re borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We’ve got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year. – Simon Cowell
When you ask people about what they enjoy doing, time spent with the boss is even worse than time spent cleaning the house. So this suggests that there are a lot of leaders out there who are not doing an adequate job. – Tom Rath
In Downing Street they called me ‘Boss’. Civil servants would always call me ‘Prime Minister’. – Tony Blair

I’ve always been petrified of working for a boss who I didn’t like but who I was in fear of, because I wanted my salary. – Simon Cowell
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. – WizKid
In a peer network, no one is officially in charge. It doesn’t have a command hierarchy. It doesn’t have a boss. So, all the decisions are somehow made collectively. The control of the system is in the hands of everyone who is a part of it. – Steven Johnson
On average, spending time with your boss is consistently rated as the least pleasurable activity in a given day. – Tom Rath
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives. – Theodore Roosevelt
It’s the people who are more insecure who feel the need to control and micromanage. But that’s true of any profession and hierarchy with a boss. You have people who know you are competent enough to do your job, and then you have the ones that just hover around. – Sarah Gadon
I think of myself more as a designer than a serial entrepreneur. As a designer, the easiest way to see that something happens is to start a company and then be the boss, and then people have to do what you say. – Stewart Butterfield
I’ve got corporate executives, my bosses… this is true… who will text message me… and say, ‘Hey a, heard you had chemotherapy today, want me to stop by and pick you up something to eat and bring it to you?’ Whose boss does that? My bosses do that. – Stuart Scott
I think once you’re in the public eye, whether you’re a boss, a teacher or whatever you do, that you’re automatically in the position of role model. You have people looking up to you, so whether you choose to accept it or not is a different question. – Talib Kweli
