Hitachi Nail Guns were as good as gold in this city for years. I had 300 on pawn, and then when they stopped building houses in Vegas I wound up with 300 Hitachi Nail Guns that I can't give away.

I never thought I would downgrade into a 4,000-square-foot house. It took me about two months to find places to put everything.

I can only have four to five ounces of food in my stomach. When you only have that much space in there, you don't want to fill it up with crap.

You look for the way something is built. You see a Prada bag and you look at the stitching at the back. If it's a fake one, then they make it really cheap. If it's a real Prada bag and I will look at it, I will count every single stitch and make sure they are exact distance apart.

I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.

Money is not wealth. Money is a claim on wealth.

Not to say people shouldn't get rich from art. I adore the alchemy wherein artists who cast a complex spell make rich people give them their money. (Just writing it makes me cackle.) But too many artists have been making money without magic.

Why do I have an issue with banks? They have their greedy fingers in everyone's money. No other industry has the power to deduct a bill or fees directly from your own bank account without so much as a notice.
