The reasons why I left were to do with my interest in Buddhism. There were experiences over a period of about six months which caused me to decide to give up music so one morning I felt I had to go to E.G. Management and tell them.

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 have asked myself once or twice lately what was my natural bent. I have no doubt at all: It is to look at each day for the evil of that day and have a go at it and that is why I have never failed to have an acute interest in each morning's letters.

Politics gets me out of bed in the morning It's what really interests me. I'm a competitor but I also feel like I'm contributing whether it's working on health-care policy in the White House or out here in Chicago.

As an actor it's more interesting to play a nerd than anything else. It's a lot more fun - you don't worry about 'what's my hair like?' in the morning or 'which is my great angle?'

Congressman Berg will repeatedly talk about Harry Reid and Barack Obama and I find it interesting because this morning when I woke up and brushed my teeth I looked in the mirror and I did not see a tall African-American skinny man. So let's make it clear that my priorities are North Dakota priorities.

It's interesting to wake up at 3 in the morning by someone saying they're a reporter and they want to know how you feel. I felt fine but I said 'Well why do you ask?'

When I get up in the morning I brush my teeth and go about my business and if I am going anywhere interesting I take my camera along.

But you know they don't enjoy the dinner hour together. It's just not as much of a ritual at night and it's interesting. I think the ritual is taking place perhaps more in the morning.

Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning you throw on your suspenders and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand usually and sing into a tape recorder.

I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week it feels like hard work.

Nobody wants to read about the honest lawyer down the street who does real estate loans and wills. If you want to sell books you have to write about the interesting lawyers - the guys who steal all the money and take off. That's the fun stuff.

Organized labor if they're doing a responsible job is going to organize the pooling of small amounts of money to protect the interests of the people who are not rich.

Money is a good thing and it's obviously useful but to work only for money or fame would never interest me.

You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money compliments or publicity.

I mean Dodd-Frank is strangling small community banks. It doesn't make any difference what the interest rate is. They're not - they're not going to loan the money because they can't make any money for one thing plus the cost of compliance.

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

The people of this country not special interest big money should be the source of all political power.

Anyone who wants to sell you overnight success or wealth is not interested in your success they are interested in your money.

American men as a group seem to be interested in only two things money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.

I'm not really interested in making money.

Spirituality does two things for you. One you are forced to become more selfless two you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.

The more money an American accumulates the less interesting he becomes.

We shall never get people whose time is money to take much interest in atoms.
