I have been so copied by those people who have made fortunes that people assume I am that rich. But I did things for the excitement, the dare, the fact that it was new, not for the money. And too many times I was the first, not the beneficiary.

Although I grew up in very modest and challenging circumstances, I consider my life to be immeasurably rich.

I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A.

A lot of people around me were really staggeringly rich, which I never have been. I walked in between the raindrops of real money, but I've stayed happy.

I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.

I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.

I was at a U2 concert and someone asked me if my hair color was real... I thought to myself, if I had $1 for every time someone asked me this, I would be very rich.

I realised how rich I had become and I asked myself, 'Do I really want to be the richest person in the cemetery?'
