I was a bit of a troubled kid growing up, let's put it that way. I didn't take pleasure in hard work.

We love wealth, and we hate poor people. I know people who work in TV news who have actually been told to do stand-ups rather than put interviews with poor people on the air. We physically don't want to look at them.

Capitalism is a system for determining objective value.

We may be many things, we Americans, but we always get the job done.

I remember hearing, back in the day, so-and-so got a deal, and bands are spending the money. Some of them live in the old days, where money is coming in and budgets are endless, but bands have to pay that back. Some bands just don't realize that.

Big money has hijacked our politics.

That was real baseball. We weren't playing for money. They gave us Mickey Mouse watches that ran backwards.

I resisted the film business as long as I could, because of the big circus act and the amount of money that it costs to make films - I saw my father suffer through that.
