I am an independent, educated woman, I make my own money, take care of my mom, and I am single, so I can do whatever I want, taking no one’s permission, and that is the best part. – Nargis Fakhri
I could never gamble on stocks and shares because I saw my father get hurt that way – he lost quite a lot of money when the stock market collapsed in 2001. – Mark Billingham
The thing about a real economy is that it actually is like the game of Monopoly in the sense that when one person has all the money, the game is over. And in a game of Monopoly, of course, that’s quite charming, but in a real economy, it’s much more problematic. – Nick Hanauer
My hero Socrates trained Plato on a rock. How much did that cost? So the greatest minds in history became the greatest minds in history without spending a lot of money. – Dave Brat
Specificity is what makes good storytelling, and good storytelling is what makes money, and making money is then what encourages new producers to invest in different stories about Asians. – Constance Wu
I think if you say that art and politics, or religion and politics, mustn’t mix, don’t mix, that is itself a political statement. Even if you are writing a 19th-century novel where the money comes from a plantation in the Caribbean and you don’t talk about that, that itself is a political thing. – Mohsin Hamid
Many people who try to do big bold things in the world find out it’s not about the money or the technology: It’s about the regulatory hurdles that will try and stop you. – Peter Diamandis
Look, we know we screwed up when we were in the majority. We fell in love with power. We spent way too much money – especially on earmarks. There was too much corruption when we ran this place. We were guilty. And that’s why we lost. – Eric Cantor
I’ve always had an idealistic streak about storytelling in that I believe we owe more to audiences than repeatedly bludgeoning them over the head while stealing their lunch money. We owe them inspiration. That’s why I’m more interested now in creating new heroes than hooking up jumper cables to old ones. – Mark Frost
There’s only two givens with choosing acting as a profession: one is you will always be unemployed, always, and it doesn’t matter how much money you make, you’re still always going to be unemployed; and that you have no power. – Frances McDormand
The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired. – Major Owens
I’m an actor first and foremost. My producing credentials are just to say, ‘Yeah, I love this story and now let’s bring the people, the ensemble together,’ and I get out of the way. I have no desire to check on schedules and shooting schedules and money and stuff like that. – Pierce Brosnan
I’ve been very well remunerated for my talents over the years so I really don’t need the public’s money. – George Michael
Human nature doesn’t change. When enough people are comfortable enough financially, there is going to be human nature that wants to spend more money on better quality and, to some degree, status symbols as well. – Danny Meyer
Well, everybody is trying to make this a money thing. If you send me to another team, let’s see what I ask for. I won’t ask for nothing. I’ll play under the same terms. So it is not Gary wants more money. Gary has money. What else do I need? – Gary Sheffield
International donors, our friends, should demand results; impose results. The fact of giving money is not helping if you give money to honest people and there is no structure to manage that money. It is not helping. – Michel Martelly
When a man gets his money in bad ways, when he sees the better course and takes the worse, then the devil’s in his heart, and that fixes him. – Dan Totheroh
I’m a pacifist. I believe there are ways to solve the world’s problems. Instead of putting all this money to create arms, I think countries should invest in scholarships for kids to study abroad. Perhaps they could become good and knowledgeable professors in their own countries. You need time for that kind of change, though. – Marjane Satrapi
I wasn’t raised with money, so I had to get used to having it. I think I’ve adjusted to it pretty well. – Christine McVie
Money should not, and must not, change our commitment to solving problems and building this state. – Dave Freudenthal
My dad was a baggage handler at Heathrow and careful with money. He worked hard and had three jobs when I was young. I wish I’d inherited his care for money. Sadly, I’ve grown up to be rather scatty when it comes to finances. – Gary Numan
Ray Charles’ revolutionary approach to music was also reflected in his politics and his deep and abiding commitment to Martin Luther King and the plight of African-Americans. Ray Charles may not have been on the front lines, but he put his money where his mouth was. – Diane Watson
I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they’re going to be entertained for 90 minutes. – Eli Roth
There are so many startups out there raising money. I don’t think this is a bad thing. It’s a good thing. Entrepreneurship is in vogue. Innovators are innovating. Makers are making. – Fred Wilson
The best restraint is old-fashioned market discipline, in which financial traders know that they, personally, will lose a ton of money if they take risky bets that don’t pan out. – David Ignatius
I used to be a model and a medical test subject, though never at the same time. And since we didn’t have much money when I was a kid, I know how to fish and hunt for my supper. And I used to win awards in speech in high school, which comes in handy when I speak to 200 people at a writers’ conference. – MaryJanice Davidson
