White actors still get way more money in Hollywood. It's been that way for a very long time. I hope it'll change but it's a matter of forcing that change.

Like all parents my husband and I just do the best we can hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.

You don't seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has hope. He thinks money would help.

If someone decides to be a musician now it means because there is no hope of money at the end of it it means they really want to be a musician. And if someone is writing now there is no hope for money at the end of it.

A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame and money but even... without any hope of doing it well.

I've seen the ticket and I still can't believe it. When I see the money I hope I don't hit the floor.

The rich are always going to say that you know just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years and I hope the American public is catching on.

When I began to make some money I really wanted to have a home.

You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you're moving out. But it's demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don't have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice.

It's hard for women who make a lot of money and make decisions all day long then they have to come home and be 'Stupid Sally.' Men need respect and they need to know that they can lead in the relationship so even if they don't make the most money they need to be able to call the shots.

In all honesty at that time I never saw myself as an author... I was just a Mom in a state of panic trying to enter a short story contest to win the prize money in order to keep the lights on in my home.

I'm just like so many women - I was frustrated I had these white pants that I had spent a lot of money on and you get home and you think 'What am I really supposed to wear under this?' So it was a frustrated consumer moment.

You earn very little money on independent films and I'm the provider for my home so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.

I don't need to be asking for money for local museums and other projects just to make me look good back home.

A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter - all she said was 'Hey since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed here $10 for a pizza.' I was like 'Aww she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!'

I get so frustrated when people tell me it's unrealistic to create an eight-month emergency savings fund or have money saved for a home down payment or pay off their $5 000 credit card balance.

Here's how I think of my money - as soldiers - I send them out to war everyday. I want them to take prisoners and come home so there's more of them.

Why should people go out and pay money to see bad films when they can stay at home and see bad television for nothing?

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. It means a lot of dross but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago. From a creative perspective that is all that writing is about.

Crafts make us feel rooted give us a sense of belonging and connect us with our history. Our ancestors used to create these crafts out of necessity and now we do them for fun to make money and to express ourselves.

I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor I do a movie that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great at first not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.

The United States is the only power in history that became great by giving and not by taking. I think the crisis was when the United States had more money than ideas. Money doesn't produce money. Ideas produce money.

Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

Well I think that California has had a history of always spending more money than it takes in.
