I loathe and detest movies and television and don't watch any. I do not have the time.
From Felix Dennis
When I was young, I wanted to be the greatest blues singer of all time. I wrecked my education and left home for it.
The best thing about being immensely wealthy is not having to be in any particular place at any particular time doing a particular task you don't want to do.
I thoroughly object to getting old. If you could let me be 16 again, I'd give you everything I've got and everything I'll ever have.
I never sue journalists. I employ journalists. I employ too many of them. I don't sue journalists.
I only buy a computer when it's two years old, after the glitches have been worked out.
There are jobs, particularly database-oriented ones, for which computers are necessary, but for everyday office life, I question whether they have brought the productivity that their enormous cost, up to £10,000 per person, demands.
Computers are wasteful of paper and time. Once, we'd get documents with a few errors. Now, people make hundreds of copies until each sheet is flawless and memos are duplicated endlessly. Managers get swamped with emails.
The richer you are and the more financial advisers you employ, the less likelihood there is that you can ever discover what you are really worth.
The rich are not a contented tribe. The demands from others to share their wealth become so tiresome, so insistent, they often decide they must insulate themselves. Insulation eventually breeds a mild form of paranoia.
