At that time I was making the largest salary known on television and I didn't want to see it die because those were the years paying off when I wasn't making anything.

I learned how to live on five and sometimes ten dollars a week.

If I was doing something for the money, I'd be quite miserable.

It was hard to turn down the money since I didn't have a job, but I didn't want to exploit my notoriety because I knew the way I'd been living was wrong.

When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.

I thought I was gonna be in the minimum-wage working world all my life.

I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.

When I was younger, I thought about retiring.
