Quote

In the end, I need to be fulfilled in my work - that's more important than the money.

I've been in a situation where I was after the money.

You need to do the work to bring the money in, but not compromise standards.

Money is like an arm or leg - use it or lose it.

My career has mostly been jobs I love or cases where I needed money.

Money is money.

Money is misunderstood. The fact is if you want to be successful - the money will follow you. If you are a doctor, something else will follow you. If you are successful, there is an accompaniment. If your goal is just to make money, you won't succeed. Money is a commodity to use, not to be dictated by.

Especially for fostering creative, conceptual work, the best way to use money as a motivator is to take the issue of money off the table so people concentrate on the work.

Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life.

As a novelist, I tell stories and people give me money. Then financial planners tell me stories and I give them money.
