I know a lot of celebrities who are perfectly happy to put their name to something and then leave it at that because the money is good but I need to have complete control over how something is going to look if my name is going to be attached to it.

As kids we didn't complain about being poor we talked about how rich we were going to be and made moves to get the lifestyle we aspired to by any means we could. And as soon as we had a little money we were eager to show it.

We are going as fast as we can as soon as we can. We're in a race against time until we run out of money.

I don't really care about money. I find money boring and accounting boring so I'm probably not going to ever make a lot of money.

When you hire that first person then you're a boss. You've got performance reviews. You've got complaints about not making enough money. You've got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids.

All I wanted to do was write - at the time poems and prose too. I guess my ambition was simply to make money however I could to keep myself going in some modest way and I didn't need much I was unmarried at the time no children.

Clearly this is a tough economic time and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.

I think money is due for some sort of collapse. People are going to realize that money has a half-life like radioactive elements.

Don't cling to fame. You're just borrowing it. It's like money. You're going to die and somebody else is going to get it.

But human nature dictates that there will always be cheaters. That's inevitable. Where there's money involved and glory there are going to be people that cheat and there will always be ways to cheat.

Find something in life that you love doing. If you make a lot of money that's a bonus and if you don't you still won't hate going to work.

We can't go to people who have lost their job at GM and say 'Oh by the way we are going to pay money to build a road here or inoculate children there ' unless we can demonstrate that it is in America's interest. I happen to think it is.

Now people when I say that look at me and say 'What are you talking about Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?'. The answer is yes that's what I'm telling you.

I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said 'What for?' I said 'I'm going to buy some sugar.'

You may never get to that perfect world that you're waiting for where everything's going to be perfect and you got that much money and your house paid off.

With our technology with objects literally three people in a garage can blow away what 200 people at Microsoft can do. Literally can blow it away. Corporate America has a need that is so huge and can save them so much money or make them so much money or cost them so much money if they miss it that they are going to fuel the object revolution.

I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.

Sudden money is going from zero to two hundred dollars a week. The rest doesn't count.

We've always loved going to the movies. Our mom and dad are big movie fans. They'd take us on these movie orgys where we'd see sometimes three movies in a day.

I always was drawn to the performing arts. I started dancing when I was two. I sang loved to act and loved going to visit my mom on-set. But she wanted me to have a normal childhood so I wasn't really allowed to pursue acting till I got older.

When I was going on auditions it was nerve-racking. I'd always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along I said 'You know what Mom? I believe I'm going to get this role.'

I always think about which blood drive was going on in Georgia that day when that husband or mom or school teacher rolled up their sleeve and actually gave me a second chance at life. It's the ultimate gift of life and I'm the one who was on the other end.

They see me as being this Super Mom on TV who also can more than handle a difficult husband and they assume I'm going to be just full of wisdom as a mother and wife myself.

In third grade I was taking tap-dance lessons and about six weeks before the recital I wanted to quit. My mom said 'No you're going to stay with it.' Well I did it and I was bad too! But my parents never let their kids walk away from something because it was too hard.
