If I hadn't of had music in my life it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.

I'm sure a bunch of 15-year-old kids would way rather I do 'Superbad 2' than 'Moneyball.' But I would love to do movies like 'Superbad' and movies like 'Moneyball.'

I couldn't survive just doing independent movies. And I'd rather do modelling than movies or TV I didn't like.

It's like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too but for me they're like entire movies. And they show them on cable.

I don't want to criticize any other designers but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

If Warren Buffett made his money from ordinary income rather than capital gains his tax rate would be a lot higher than his secretary's. In fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes.

It's rather naive apart from being ethically objectionable to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way.

I remember thinking that I'd way rather give my parents my money and not have to like have them go to work anymore you know what I mean. Because I'd way rather spend more time with them.

Having money is rather like being a blond. It is more fun but not vital.

Congress the press and the bureaucracy too often focus on how much money or effort is spent rather than whether the money or effort actually achieves the announced goal.

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

One of the evils of money is that it tempts us to look at it rather than at the things that it buys.

The focus on my appearance has really surprised me. I've always been a size 14 to 16 I don't care about clothes I'd rather spend my money on cigarettes and booze.

Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking but rather ideas If the ideas are good cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.

I'd rather lose my own money than someone else's.

For me just being how old I am I know I don't want to be a single mom. I really would rather make it a two-person job. But I've also come to terms with not being a mother at all. I'm actually really good with either direction that my life can take as being a valid experience.

I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will but I'd rather have a complicated misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.

Few things are impracticable in themselves and it is for want of application rather than of means that men fail to succeed.

It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends.

What affects men sharply about a foreign nation is not so much finding or not finding familiar things it is rather not finding them in the familiar place.

I do not consider it an insult but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means.

Men seldom or rather never for a length of time and deliberately rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.

The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.
