I was a happy man, never working. Sometimes I saw days with no money to eat. It was not so difficult.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a nurse I never had much money, and I was still happy then.
We didn't have much money. My whole extended family used to help us, and buy us books and food. It was hard, and there were things I didn't want to talk about. But at the end I was a happy girl.
The happiest I ever been was when I was a struggling actor. I've had big houses and small houses. I always had work available for most of my career. When I actually had to find jobs to make money, that's when I was happy.
I've been very, very fortunate. I never had to work for a living.
As a young man, I lived through the Great Depression, when banks failed and so many lost their jobs and homes and went hungry. I was fortunate to have a job at a canning factory that paid 25 cents an hour.
Men weren't always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.
My family didn't have a lot of money, and I'm grateful for that. Money is the longest route to happiness.
I had to work to eat. I couldn't even complete a basic elementary education.
I was frustrated because I couldn't get going, as I was trying to figure out how to make films. I had various jobs, I taught a SAT class, I was a bartender, I had a day job at an office and was making short films.
I was a bartender at a Pizzeria Uno's for nine years. The people I worked with were amazing, but it was quite possibly the most miserable time of my life.
