I got my influences from ’70s bands – Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, blah blah blah. When I was growing up, we had all these crazy bands on the Top 40. Today, if Pink Floyd released ‘Money,’ it wouldn’t even get played. – Al Jourgensen
They wouldn’t play my records on American radio because I had spiky hair. They said, ‘Punk rock doesn’t sell advertising, it won’t make any money.’ – Billy Idol

Something like ‘A Single Man,’ it was tiny; it was financed by one guy. We all lost money doing it. – Colin Firth
Perhaps the CDC should quit spending money on things like jazzercise, urban gardening, and massage therapy and direct that money to where it’s appropriate in protecting the health of the American people. – Cory Gardner
Someone putting down $25 of his or her hard-earned money to buy my product, then doing it again because they felt the payoff was worth it. That’s as good as it gets for an author. – Brad Thor
Profits should be for a purpose. Profits should be productive. You should make money for producing benefits that make the world a better place. Making money is a good thing when it is made in service to humanity or the democracy. – Andrew Young
We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money. – Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Beauty is that quality which, next to money, is generally the most attractive to the worst kinds of men; and, therefore, it is likely to entail a great deal of trouble on the possessor. – Anne Bronte
My first job was in sixth grade, sweeping the clay tennis courts at the yacht club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent. But I don’t really have any concept of how money works. I don’t know how much things cost. Like a BMW. Or a quart of milk. It’s embarrassing. – Chloe Sevigny
We all remember the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the worst oil spill in U.S. history. What is less well known is that BP is claiming a 9.9 billion tax deduction on the money they had to spend cleaning up their own mess and paying for damages they caused. That is absurd. – Bernie Sanders
I’m quite British; I’ve got big, flat feet, and I can’t wear heels. I’ve got very, very pale Celtic skin, so my legs are always a frightening blue color. So when you take out clothes that reveal your legs, shoes that have any kind of heel, no shop will actually take my money. – Caitlin Moran

You can muscle your way to the top as long as you’re part of the production, which I am. I’m knitted into the money, so it’s very hard to extricate me from the decision-making dynamic. – Ben Wheatley
I recall an 18-year-old girl named Rachel in Zambia who was given a grant to start a business of her choosing. She decided to breed goats so she could sell the meat and the milk, and donate the kids to orphan children. She herself was an orphan, stepping into young adulthood with no resources, and it was her first opportunity to earn her own money. – Ann Cotton
Money makes people bold and cosmopolitan; if you are poor, you are naturally conservative. It’s not easy to be a bohemian when you have to worry about what is going to happen with you and with your next paycheck. – Antonio Munoz Molina
I would borrow money all day long, if the cost of borrowing is less than the expected return. – Brad Schneider
Making a movie requires 20 to 500 people to make and a lot of money and the stakes are a lot higher. – Alanis Morissette
Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity. – Arnold Bennett

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you’re trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you’re giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability, you know, to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you’re trying to do? – Bill Gates
