Album sales have collapsed, with few artists making money from albums; touring is more lucrative.

I haven’t always had the money rolling in. I’m a character actor; it’s not like I’m Gwyneth Paltrow – so I do have hard times still in my life. And that’s even more why it’s like you know what, I’m not that different from people going through it. I struggle; I look for a better deal at the grocery store. – Debi Mazar
I know what it’s like to be famous. It’s good money and it’s great fun. A real kick in the pants. People wave at you and smile at you. You get great tables in restaurants. They send you gifts – beautiful clothes and cars. – Pierce Brosnan

My mom did not have money. She was a single mom, on and off in periods between marriages.

Performers have the right to say what they want to, and anyone paying money has the right to accept or reject the art and entertainment that’s available. – Penn Jillette
I think you have to be more flexible to be a pro coach because once you pay the guy the money, whether he can backpedal the way you want him to or whatever, his style of play may not suit you, but you still are going to play him, and he is going to be a part of your team. – Nick Saban

I was turning up at sets where inexperienced people were making these badly written films – but they were doing it; that was the point. They were getting their films out there. And they were paying me, so they obviously had access to money. I just thought, ‘I can make something better than this.’ – Dexter Fletcher
I just spent three years on ‘The Office.’ I made enough money that I can take five weeks out and do a play. – David Denman
I’ve never, ever taken a role for money purposes or for some bizarre notion of what may be the kind of career move that would open things up for me. If I don’t believe in it, I can’t do it because I won’t be good in it if I don’t believe in it. – David Oyelowo
I pretty much ignored politics all through my 20’s and 30’s… I had other things on my mind… the band, finding a meaningful relationship, getting enough money to eat and pay the rent. – Mark Edwards
I was on paper earning more money and having more success than I’d ever had. And it was also the most miserable I’ve ever been. When those things collided, I realised something was off. That’s when I started poking around to figure out what was wrong. – Damien Rice
