We're musicians. We make music for a living. It's that simple. Nothing else matters.

As a boy I'd always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't what one did for a living. I got over that.

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.

I don't direct movies for a living.

I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents you're kind of roughing it literally.

When I go to movies and I love the movie it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

My bar for being successful is being able to do movies that really mean something to me and being able to make a living off of that.

I don't think we're living in great times for movies to tell you the truth.

I can't watch scary movies right now because living on my own it kind of freaks me out.

You wrestle one night get up the next morning and fly out to the next city. You try to work out you try to get some food into you and lo and behold you have to go work again. You are living out of a suitcase.

The present moment is nice but it does not last. Living in it is like waiting in a junction town for the morning limited the junction may be interesting but some day you will have to leave it and you do not know where the limited will take you.

I was half asleep lying there writing this lyric in my head at about 3:30 in the morning. I woke Steve up with this idea and then we went into the living room where there was a little upright piano and finished the song. I wonder where that piano is now?

I have to say that when you tour the world obviously the jetlags and different hours and ways of living and traveling a lot of hours in the plane and you wake up in the morning and you're not quite sure where you are and it is very tiring.

Don't make music for some vast unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

Prosperity is a way of living and thinking and not just money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking and not just a lack of money or things.

I wanted to make a living but I really was not interested in money at all. I was interested in being a great comedian.

If you are worried about job security and do not have an adequate emergency fund (ideally eight months' worth of living expenses stashed away in a federally insured bank or credit union) you need to focus more on saving money than paying down the balance on your credit cards.
