A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off, roused me into productivity and creativity.

Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.

The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.

Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.

There are a lot of people who don't contribute anything to consumption and production.

I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later.

She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.

Among the many important provisions in the energy bill are the creation of an estimated half million new jobs, increased oil production, blackout protection, controlling fertilizer costs by stabilizing natural gas prices and enacting new efficiency benchmarks.

Jonathan Lynn is one of the last actors Orsen Welles used in a production. It was wonderful. He's very sharp, very sharp. It's funny I've been asked how weird it was to have a Brit do a church gospel movie.
