Forget the lottery. Bet on yourself instead.

Never make negative comments or spread rumors about anyone. It depreciates their reputation and yours.

During a negotiation, it would be wise not to take anything personally. If you leave personalities out of it, you will be able to see opportunities more objectively.

One way to evaluate your own reputation is to think about what would be said of you at your eulogy.

One cannot see any world leader who has got a grip on the financial markets these days. They're too big, too fast. I think that's quite scary.

Instapaper does support paywall sites. I have a list of them, that when someone saves something it sends a copy of the page as they are viewing it only to them. If you subscribe to a paid site, you can save the content. I'm not really touching the money.

Some things I won't do for any amount of money. Like for instance, there's a couple of CEOs of very large corporations that offered me lots of money to do special pictures for them. And I just refused to do that. Even if it was a million dollars I wouldn't do it.

You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.
