One cannot judge the poll outcome by the crowds one draws at public meetings.

Leaders receive and give assignments. This is an important part of the necessary principle of delegating. No one appreciates a willing volunteer more than I, but the total work cannot be done as the Lord wants it done merely by those doing the work who may be present at meetings.

I write a book a year while creating TV and film projects. And being a writer isn't just writing: I have to chase down paychecks and manage foreign tax payments. I maintain a vibrant relationship with readers and bloggers. And when it comes to Hollywood, I typically have to have fifteen business meetings in the hopes that one leads to a project.

Bush administration officials, of course, deny that they didn't take the threat urgently enough, but there is no debating that in their public utterances, private meetings, and actions, the al Qaeda threat barely registered.

I'm feeling pretty fortunate. I've been having lots of lovely auditions and meetings, so I'm savoring the moment.

It was seldom that I attended any religious meetings, as my parents had not much faith in and were never so unfortunate as to unite themselves with any of the religious sects.

People aren't going to talk about it except me and that is communication and the visits I have personally had in our meetings with our store managers saying if you do these things you will be terminated, period.

Overall, we had about 50 meetings where the brothers would say that I couldn't do any solo records, I couldn't write for other people, I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that. These guys were trying to nail my feet to the ground.

When I have meetings scheduled so tight that I can't go to the loo, that's where I draw the line!

Has anyone ever said, 'I wish I could go to more meetings today'?

We are visual creatures. When you doodle an image that captures the essence of an idea, you not only remember it, but you also help other people understand and act on it - which is generally the point of meetings in the first place.

You win the Oscar, you get to go into just about anybody's office for a month. I had a lot of meetings.

Faithful attendance at Church meetings brings blessings you can receive in no other way.

Are your people uncomfortable during meetings and tired at the end? If not, they're probably not mixing it up enough and getting to the bottom of important issues.

I remember sitting in on meetings where everyone in the room was twice as old as I was.

I grew up around a lot of aggressive guys. My parents used to take me to AA meetings when I was very young. So I know aggression, I know insanity.

What I see around the management team meetings and the conference tables I sit at is that there isn't that same comfort level in other women who are rising the ranks. And I don't know how to fix that.

I never stay anywhere - parties, museums, meetings - longer than three hours.

I love meeting people.

I've had doors slammed in my face, I've been shouted at in my face in meetings when I've stood up for myself.
