Money Quotes
I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence in money making... certainly never one in manufacturing... who was interested in many concerns.
– Andrew Carnegie
– David Cassidy
I'm not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don't have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.

The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that's it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it.

Of hobbies there are many, many, kinds. For example, money-making. But money-making is not exactly a hobby, for it will scarcely carry a boy along in continuous joy, comfort and pleasure - to say nothing of a full-grown man. Money comes, not because it is ridden as a hobby, but because a real hobby is ridden so cleverly and carefully that it oozes out money on the side!
– John Cotton
I was living in London and I thought, 'there's nothing here for me anymore'. I don't want to become this actor who's going to be doing this occasional good work in the theater and then ever diminishing bad television. I thought I'd rather do bad movies than bad television because you get more money for it.

I've never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.

That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.'

You can't live your life being upset about things, but it's a lot easier to not be upset about it if you've got enough money yourself. If you're walking around broke and working a job from nine to five or seven to five, and you're really struggling to make ends meet, you start thinking about people who have ripped you off and getting pretty angry at them.
– Alex Chilton
Producers are still willing to break their necks to put good material onstage, and we have playwrights who are afraid of nothing. But plays of this kind of substance are essentially going the way of the dodo bird [on Broadway], because the money is going to grand spectacles featuring special effects. So we turn to our nonprofit theatres for these kind of adventurous productions.
– Alexander H. Cohen
Catching the wave of the day and getting the right soundbite is more important, because it means ratings, which means more money, means more budget, means.. better reporting?

As for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think actor and see some easy money.

It's fun to imagine what you could do with that kind of money. I could buy that island I've wanted to buy all my life, and live there with my family. Or I could buy some great piece of art that's just going to feed my eyes every day. It's fun to toy with the notion of that, and it is very tempting because money, unfortunately is freedom in today's world.

If I had money, I would like to get an old building, have music performances, do lithographs, have shows of paintings, and do those things that I'm interested in doing.

If you think about it, $100,000 in terms of a recording is not a lot of money. For musicians who are cranking out a lot of this uninteresting commercial music, it is not unusual for that amount of money to be allocated for the lunch commemorating the signing of one of their recording contracts.

I don't care why people love me, just as long as they love me. And I don't even care that they do so much. Is it better to have money or not to have money? Better to have love or not? Both money and love may be bad for the soul or bad for the art. I'm on a show that a lot of people like to watch. Does that make me better off?
– David Duchovny
Successful people make money. It's not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do.

He'd suck my brains, memorize my Rolodex and use my telephone to find some other guy who'd pay him twice the money.

Change Management will be essential in all money matters. With profits from sugar continuing to decline and with ecological, aesthetic and employment factors in the industry all very relevant, our management of the change process will be critical to how the ultimate decision we take in relation to sugar impacts upon our economy and our own way of life here in St. Kitts & Nevis.

Few influential people involved with the Internet claim that it is a good in and of itself. It is a powerful tool for solving social problems, just as it is a tool for making money, finding lost relatives, receiving medical advice, or, come to that, trading instructions for making bombs.

We have made assisting communities with economic and job development a top priority. Many communities often lack the financial resources to cleanup and redevelop brownfield sites or update water and waste disposal infrastructure systems. I have worked to deliver the money that turns what might be called stumbling blocks into building blocks.

Money doesn't change men, it merely unmasks them. If a man is naturally selfish or arrogant or greedy, the money brings that out, that's all.

There are two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is the penniless reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money from one class and give it to another, all the world's ills will be cured.
