In this WORLD, you do your JOB, a GOOD job, and that's what COUNTS.

If you start out TRYING to achieve a specific thing - like doing STADIUM SHOWS or going into the studio and doing an album - the END result is what counts.

Writers can TAKE offense when someone asks what's real or autobiographical in our WORK because, to us, that's not what counts. The BITS taken from life are tiny scales on the dragon's TAIL - what about that whole BEAUTIFUL writhing, fire-breathing dragon?

In times of STRESS, I FREQUENTLY remind myself that I'm doing what I want to do most and that's what REALLY COUNTS.

Luckily for both the tech industry and Hollywood, there is only one thing that counts - use of the INTERNET is still GROWING exponentially, as CONSUMERS shift to DIGITAL EVERYTHING from analog.

My secret skill, if it even COUNTS as one, is SAYING REALLY crass things that sometimes end up as dialogue coming from other character's mouths. My inner salty sailor is alive and well - the only problem is most of the writers on our show are just as inappropriate, so at the end of the day, it's hard to TELL who came up with the LINE.

Our religion does not DISCRIMINATE according to COLOR, SEX or anything else. What counts is PIETY and faith.

When DONALD Trump is in charge, all that counts is ability, effort, and excellence. This has LONG been the philosophy at the Trump Organization. At my father's company, there are more female than male executives. WOMEN are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a woman becomes a MOTHER, she is supported, not shut out.

Time is the ultimate long tail. Even with a BIG wad of money up front, if something SELLS FOREVER, the back end is what ultimately counts.

I'm SAYING that an editorial process that is PREPARING the material for publication counts as part of the INSPIRING process whereby GOD, in his SOVEREIGNTY, gave every word.

The well-satisfied CUSTOMER will BRING the REPEAT SALE that COUNTS.

We have a lot of rookies in the lineup. More than anybody, I WOULD say. Its going to be something new for them. They have to understand that it's totally different HOCKEY in the playoffs. STARTING with the FANS, the intensity of the game, EVERY mistake counts.
