When I said I didn't have a cent, I didn't. I used to get annoyed with people who said they were broke when they had five dollars.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollar's worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar.
I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it.
There are certain times you realize you've got too much money. One was when I started getting bills from the Koi hotel. When I was remodeling the Koi pond, the Koi had to go to the Koi hotel. They ended up staying there for 13 months and I never asked what the bill was.
If it's a penny for your thoughts and you put in your two cents worth, then someone, somewhere is making a penny.
There were times when I had maybe a couple of hundred dollars, and times I made myself think I was on top of the world.
I always ignore money.
Growing up poor, I didn't even have a lunch to take to school. Lunch was 26 cents, and we didn't even know what 26 cents looked like. I didn't love school because I wanted to disguise that I was poorer than everybody else.
I made a penny for each paper delivered every day, plus 2 cents for Sunday papers. I had 120 customers. For a 10-year-old kid in the 1940s, that was a lot of money.
I work very hard and I'm worth every cent.
Who wakes up when they're worth £120million and says, 'I'm unhappy today but if only I had an extra £2million!'
