I don't think business news is just for old white men with money.
The important thing right now is that the economy still needs customers. We still need people to go out there and spend money.
The only plan I have is to not do anything I don't want to do - and to never work just for money.
My mantra is if you raise money, don't waste it.
I think ultimately what you really want is a few people within any label that are into the band enough to really work on it every day for a long time and to actually try a little bit. But obviously, the major labels have more money to spend, so if they feel like spending it, they have bigger resources there when you need them. It doesn't always necessarily translate into them doing a better job for a band, but I think especially if you're playing the game of commercial radio and making videos and stuff like that, that's sort of an expensive proposition.
I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.
People like to say their songs are like children, but you gotta get those kids out there so they can make some money and pay the rent.
Code-sharing, alliances, and connections are all about "how do we screw the poor customer for more money?"
The determination of the value of an item must not be based on its price, but rather on the utility it yields. The price of the item is dependent only on the thing itself and is equal for everyone; the utility, however, is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. Thus there is no doubt that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to a pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount.
People came at me with all sorts of offers, wanting to make me into a hard-core Cher. I had no desire for any amount of money to be reformed for someone's vision, because in the end, that's what you got: your clay in someone else's hands.
I like writing, but I write for self-improvement more than I do for money.
Investing is simple, but not easy.
The one sure mark of a con, though, is the promise of free money.
There's a certain Buddhistic calm that comes from having. . . money in the bank.
Riches are not an end of life, but an instrument of life.
Set up rules for when you will "give" not lend money. Never lend. My people know that I'll help with college. I'll help if they lose they job thu no fault of their own.
Money is life energy that we exchange and use as a result of the service we provide to the universe.
There was a time when a fool and his money were soon parted, but now it happens to everybody.
Money out of nothing is money that is eventually worth nothing.
Success. Money. Fame. Whatever you're going after. You have one kick at the can, I always say. It's very rare that you have many kicks at the can. You're there at the right place at the right time, you have your shot, and it either works or it doesn't. And I've had many shots.
