Most accountants are strange - let's be honest.

I will never begin to know what the accountants do or what the camera guys do, as much as I try to learn just out of respect for what they do and to try to make my job as manager more efficient. The most important thing is to let those people do their jobs while making it clear what the parameters are.

I've always hated the way Hollywood has portrayed accountants. They're always little nerd balls, wimpy, afraid of everything. Growing up with accountants, I don't see them that way.

Probably the best advice I ever got in my life was from the head of the accounting department, Mr. Hutchinson, I believe at the Glidden Company in Chicago, and he told me, 'You really aren't cut out for accounting.'

Never call an accountant a credit to his profession; a good accountant is a debit to his profession.

I look like an accountant. And no offense to accountants! There's some really cool accountants out there.

I just wanted to be a businessman, and to me, the best way to understand business was to be an accountant.

Financial analysts make a lot more than accountants.

I was never a Certified Public Accountant... I just had a degree in accounting. The reason I was never a Certified Public Accountant was because it would require passing a test, which I would not have been able to do.

Did you ever hear of a kid playing accountant - even if they wanted to be one?
