I have driven school buses, sold egg rolls and painted houses, and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't gone into acting. Mind you, it's a great life, going around pretending you're other people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money for it.

John Malkovich

I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can't really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work - making an investment in the future of humanity.

Ted Turner

The NCAA makes so much money off of their kids, and they put ridiculous - absolutely ridiculous - restrictions on everything that they can do.

Aaron Rodgers

It is astonishing how much more anxious people are to lengthen life than to improve it; and as misers often lose large sums of money in attempting to make more, so do hypochondriacs squander large sums of time in search of nostrums by which they vainly hope they may get more time to squander.

Charles Caleb Colton

Remodeling defies the principles of modern commerce. You shell out great sums of money to people over whom you have no authority or power, yet these same people are constantly insinuating that you're cheap. (It reminded me of medicine, another area where you shell out great sums of money to people over whom you have no authority or power, who make you feel guilty for questioning a bill.) Construction workers are the blue-collar version of the snooty salespeople at Gucci who make $8 an hour but look down on you if you balk at a $400 alligator wallet.

Margo Kaufman

Bernard-Henri Levy

You can have parties without spending enormous sums of money.

Herb Kelleher

Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.

Agatha Christie

Few women care to be laughed at and men not at all, except for large sums of money.

Alan Ayckbourn

When you give away large sums of money, you can cause as much damage as you may do good.

Paul Mellon

It's staggering how many players, even with the sums of money they make, don't do a great job of saving it.

Jeff Van Gundy

It's a long, slow sunset for ink-on-paper magazines, but sunsets can produce vast sums of money.

Felix Dennis

Disruption causes vast sums of money to flow from existing businesses and business models to new entrants.

Jay Samit

I don't even know how much money I've spent on all of this stuff... Just in plates and bars alone, it's literally a ridiculous amount of money I've spent on those. And to me it doesn't matter. It's money that I've gladly spent.

Brian Shaw

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. Money, money everywhere and still not enough! And then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
