When you are 81 years old, you don't really need a lot of the trappings of wealth.

I had one idea that never changed in my mind - that you should use your wealth to help people.

I suppose in the back of my mind I was always one of those guys who had a disdain for money. It had a value if you wanted to buy something, but if you didn't want to buy something, you didn't need it.

I was with a special services unit in the Korean war, and when I got out, the biggest thing I got was a GI scholarship.

All of this talk of recession offends me. I am delighted that bankers have less money.

I can't rely on my money to be happy.

My father was horrified by my movies, yet he lent me the money to make the early ones. And I paid him back with interest.

This job forces you to ask yourself so many questions: Do you want money? Do you want power? Do you just want to be good at your craft? I don't know what I'm doing. I just want to be happy. But I know I have to keep making music.
