Most accountants are strange - let's be honest.

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.

I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer.

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

Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants.

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

There is one thing Anthony Weiner and I agree on: there are a lot of smart, hard-working people in the financial industry.

The value that some analysts put on revenue vs. what they put on profit is out of whack. If you can grow real cash earnings, that's 80% of what you ought to do, and the revenue component is 20%.

I probably wouldn't make a good accountant. I don't even understand what my accountant tells me. But the character is a sort of exaggerated version of me, he's a little more frightened than I am, everything seems so much bigger to him than it does to me.

The reality is that a person who has always struggled with numbers is unlikely to be a great accountant or statistician.
