Money is the medium of exchange, and it's how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap.

I'm always slightly envious of people who become extremely rich without anyone knowing who the hell they are, like financiers.

It's our nature: Human beings like success but they hate successful people.

I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

Many speak the truth when they say that they despise riches, but they mean the riches possessed by others.

I never had money; I like nice things, but I don't let that run my life. At the same time, I have to let something drive me... so now I let the money drive me.

Constantly having to think about money is not nice. People used to say, 'Being rich doesn't make you happy'. And I'd think, 'I've got no electricity, nothing - tell that to my empty fridge'.

They're not willing to admit that I've also shed blood and tears and often paid dearly for my success. This makes me feel extremely sad.

There is a lesson there about greed and it is a lesson I am willing to learn as well. Has it made me a distrustful person? I don't think so. But we probably look a bit more carefully at our financial situation now.
