Hollywood is Hollywood. It'll never change, although it does go through its own transformations. I think that there's this obsessiveness with making money, which has gotten out of proportion.
You can see it in terms of the obsession on Wall Street with not just profits but greed, more profit, more profit.
There's something that's so basically corrupt about any system in which a good and fair profit is not enough. There has to be more, every year, every quarter, because your stock price has to rise.
the leaders of globalization ... have tied themselves to a single measurement by which they judge success and failure ... They only measure money and the bottom line.
It is profit that makes a wise man loose his senses.
Any jerk can have short-term earnings. You squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, and the company sinks five years later.
The obsession with economic profit and technical efficiency puts the human rhythms of life at risk.
If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.
