Lord Sugar quotes from The Apprentice

Ed, you were trained at one of the leading accountancy firms in the country, I believe. Is that right?

(to Nick and Karren) Edward, he reminds me of a very slow internet line. You have to wait, and you see him ticking over.

You said on your resume that "I'm Lord Sugar's dream." With all due respect, you've been a bit of a nightmare. And so I'm gonna have to say to you, Edward, you're fired. (Edward stands up and starts to leave. As he goes to leave he stands by the door just as he goes out and faces Lord Sugar once more) Just learn from this, Edward. There's no shame in being an accountant, don't ever, ever run yourself down as far as that's concerned. (Edward turns away and goes out the door)

(during his boardroom deliberations) Alex, you're certainly a good talker but I'm not thinking of starting a business writing speeches.

(to Vincent) I know you’re Belgian and that’s where the waffles come from, but…

Felicity, all you've told me since you've been in this boardroom today is that "The team agreed this, the team agreed that and the team agreed..." Well look, the person I'm looking for to go into business with me, there ain't no team. That person is on their own.

(to Jim) I don't know whether you're made of brains or bollocks.

This Jim, he seems to have some kind of control over people. I don’t know why.

(to Vincent) With your track record at Logic, I suppose Winalot was not on the agenda, really.

I haven't seen much of you, Ellie. I don't think I can go into business with you, so I'm going to tell you that you're fired.

My disposals get taken away in the back of a taxi.

I have never yet come across an engineer that can turn his hand to business.

(on Melody) She’ll tread over anybody. She’ll eat them up and spit them out for her breakfast. That’s what I like about her.

If someone can't actually perform in the business that they're in, they're not going to be able to perform with me. Zoe, you're fired.

(to Tom) If you nod your head any longer, I'm going to put you on the back seat of my bloody car.
