My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

Nearly every glamorous, wealthy, successful career woman you might envy now started out as some kind of schlep.

You can have your titular recognition. I'll take money and power.

After you're older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money.

I don't spend a bunch of money on jewelry or sunglasses, because I lose them a lot.

Any number of scoundrels, having money enough to start with, can establish themselves as a 'government'; because, with money, they can hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort more money; and also compel general obedience to their will.

It was not easy for my mother, being a struggling actress and raising a child. We were these two sort of vagabonds, never knowing where the money was going to come from. She always says she couldn't afford a babysitter, which is why she put me on the stage.

Of course making money and being able to live life the way one desires is important.
