Baba dropped the stack of food stamps on her desk. "Thank you but I don't want," Baba said. "I work always. In Afghanistan I work, in America I work. Thank you very much, Mrs. Dobbins, but I don't like it free money."...Baba walked out of the welfare office like a man cured of a tumor.
I don't have an office. I sit in a cubicle with everybody else. That's partly so no one can ask for an office, which in a fast-growing company isn't practical. But it's also so I can keep my finger on the pulse of how people are feeling.
For a feature in next month's issue of Prog magazine, the photographer spent many hours setting up a photo shoot of me with part of my music collection in my writing office. Since I do most of my writing outside in nature, we felt this shot was most representative.

Most Americans are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while President Trump is in office, not what his look like.
For somebody who's never run for office before, Donald Trump understands that old axiom, "Define yourself before you're defined."
The office environment that people work in everyday dictates the culture that you are going to be in.
I think you must have your own office. I don't believe ever in shared office spaces.
I don't believe ever in shared office spaces. Peter talks a little bit about this, every good startup is a cult. It's very hard to create a cult if you're sharing space with people.
I walk into a company office and I can tell often whether I'm gonna invest, as soon as I walk in.
The office environment that people live in and work in, dictates your culture and how people make decisions.
We can do a bit of blaming: the proliferation of devices means we're always at work, always on call, always available. Physically leaving the office isn't a declaration of being off work anymore; your office is in your bag or pocket.
You would hope that coworkers who are dating can act professionally. But then again, some people can handle it, and some people can't. And those who can't kind of ruin it for the rest of us. Sometimes it's hard to be around an office relationship that went sour. When two actors have to be onscreen together, it can get really, really awful.
No partisan political activity transpired in my office during the recount period.
Well, one of the things I love about 'The Office' is that it has so much heart.
I felt like Jerry Lewis in France! Let the cast of Heroes go to France! The Office cast loves Scranton! The nicest people on earth are in Scranton. Thank you, Scranton for an experience we will take with us for the rest of our lives.

I think the worst professional advice I've received... I feel I've been lucky in that I've gotten a lot of wonderful guidance, but I remember - and I would never do this to someone - I remember going into a manager's office, the manager I had in New York, and this was way back when. And she said to me, immediately, "You should never wear striped T-shirts. You look much bigger than you are."
