You make a movie, and if there’s a red light flashing in the distance, everyone thinks that the director had a whole lot of money and a great idea that the red light means something. Then you say, ‘Yeah, we couldn’t afford to shut the red light off that was broken two blocks away.’ – Dito Montiel
To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That’s what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games – nothing like saving the world. – Elon Musk
I actually lost 90 pounds over the course of 15 months in order to save money on life insurance. – Derek Kilmer
I’m not a universalist, and the way I talk about final loss is this: People worship idols – money, whatever. Their humanness gets reshaped around the idol – you become like what you worship. That’s one of the basic spiritual laws. – N. T. Wright
I worked full time jobs, basically doing manual labor until I could make enough money supporting myself as a musician. – Flea
Enlightened despots are mythical creatures; real despots seem more interested in stealing money or installing their sons after them. – Elliott Abrams
I think we are all interested in end-times ideas and also in the current climate that we are all living in, where money is a little harder to come by, things continue to get expensive; gas prices are not too far from people’s heads. There are more and more people. Human society’s going to have real problems. – Dominic Monaghan
Imagine choosing a job not on money or even on career advancement, but as part of a life worth living. – Dale Dauten
The Animals were their own worst enemy. The Animals were a band that couldn’t live up to their name. I was the singer in the band and as long as I was enjoying myself I would keep on working with the band. But it got to be rather nasty once the big money showed up – things started to turn toxic. – Eric Burdon
If a patron buys from an artist who needs money, the patron then makes himself equal to the artist; he is building art into the world; he creates. – Ezra Pound
I always try to communicate to our people that we can never make enough money. We can never make enough profit. – Douglas R. Oberhelman
I spent 50 years in the NBA. Can you imagine doing something that you love the most in the entire world and doing it for your entire life and, besides that, getting a pile of money for it? It’s unbelievable. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. And I know it. – Don Nelson
In 1981, I borrowed 2,000 pounds – a lot of money back then – paid 50 quid for a seat, packed my own sandwich, and hopped on a plane to America. It was a mighty leap, but one that paid off. A week later, I got a job called ‘Remington Steele.’ – Pierce Brosnan
A lot of times when people become successful, people don’t really understand what they had to do or the sacrifices they made to do that, or they assume that they had money. This is coming from, like, a kid who was broke and lived with roaches and a single mom in Dorchester. – Clinton Sparks
Politicians or pundits can distort or cherry-pick climate science any way they want to try and gain temporary influence with the public. But any serious industrialist who’s facing ‘climate exposure’ – as it’s now called by money managers – cannot afford to engage in that sort of self-delusion. – Clive Thompson
Particularly if you’re a good engineer, there’s a lot of ways you can make money, but to actually have an impact on the world is rare, and when you find an opportunity for that, it’s very special. – Matt Mullenweg
I think that commercials can really ruin a song. You know that the person sold the song for a good deal of money, and that was the tradeoff. But, music and picture can marry in a beautiful way, and the reverse also. – David Lynch

When you work on big commercial movies, of course there’s more money involved and you can still do some good work. But with an independent, you get films that are really close to the writers’ and directors’ heart. Somehow it becomes a little deeper. A little more meat and not as much flash. – Dennis Haysbert
Presidential money is almost like the housing bubble. It’s growing at such an astronomical rate, you think it can’t get any bigger. – Chuck Todd
I’m old enough to have friends and contemporaries who have long since retired, and that’s their prerogative – enough is enough; it doesn’t mean a thing to me. But I haven’t got any money, so, you know, I just keep on working. – Mike Leigh
While I agree completely that attracting good teachers is difficult, and we need to spend more time doing that – in part by paying them more money – I don’t think there’s any evidence for the idea that somehow tenure attracts good teachers. In fact, I think the evidence is to the contrary. – David Boies
It changed my life in a lot of ways – before I got that role I was just going from job to job, not really having enough money to be able to do what I wanted to do. – Nicholas Lea
There is simply too much corruption, too much money available for the taking. – Miriam Defensor-Santiago
I’m not chasing money, so I’m not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number. – Derek Fisher
Support women directors. When a play opens, and it’s by a woman, put your money down. – Donna Lynne Champlin
I doing casual labor by the day. They wouldn’t pay you until the next morning. There was a bar that would cash your check if you bought a beer first. A lot of guys never left until they’d drunk up all their money. – Fred Ward
I want to figure out a way to not be stupid with money, then make a whole bunch of it, then I want to move to Outer Mongolia. I want to milk a yak. Maybe I’ll just settle for a cow. – Dave Matthews
