I've done the most awful rubbish in order to have somewhere to go in the morning.

I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems if you keep yourself aware of it you don't really have a day off.

It's a privilege to serve the poor to be servants of noble Africans but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That's where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head.

Acting is invigorating. But I don't analyse it too much. It's like a dog smelling where it's going to do its toilet in the morning.

'The Panorama' is also the last place anywhere in New York where the World Trade Center still stands whole as it stood in the early morning of September 11. I can also see the corner where I saw the first tower fall and howled out loud. Seeing the buildings again here is uplifting healing.

There was a chance for me to write one song for the section where Elvis sat in his black leather outfit and sang the old hits. At eight oclock the next morning I had written Memories.

I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day a fresh try one more start with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.

Because I don't take money I'll go anywhere and do a benefit concert with almost any orchestra.

I'm very unstable there's no stability in a musician's life at all. You live on a bus or on the road hand to mouth and you don't know where your money's coming from.

Money is always on its way somewhere. What you do with it while it is in your keeping and the direction you send it in say much about you. Your treatment of and respect for money how you make it and how you spend it reflect your character.

Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.

I'm not overly alarmist about it but I do think there are some worrying signs like the growing accumulation of wealth by a very small proportion of the population plus elections in the US are much more dominated by money than anywhere else calling itself a democracy.

Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.

I know where I'm putting my money.

I have long been one of those tedious people who rails against the coronation of 'student-athletes.' I have heard the argument that big-time athletics bring in loads of money to universities. I don't believe the money goes anywhere other than back into the sports teams but that's another story.

I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet.

I think there's only one or two films where I've had all the financial support I needed. All the rest I wish I'd had the money to shoot another ten days.

France is the country where the money falls apart and you can't tear the toilet paper.

The only point in making money is you can tell some big shot where to go.

France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you can't tear the toilet paper.

A development deal is where they're giving you recording time and money to record but not promising that they'll put an album out.

A lot of people in the media and some everyday people really aren't in search of the truth. They're in search of something worse than that. Money yeah. I think the media's the kind of a thing where the truth doesn't win because it's no fun. The truth's no fun.

Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors friendships the poor man everywhere lies low.
