I'm incredibly happy to be doing my own thing in New York.

I had my electricity turned off three times because I never had time to pay my bills. It was a joke. I'm making a ton of money, and I'm walking around my apartment with flashlights.

I'm a terrible patient, and I find that doctors can be very condescending.

I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.

Remember. Every day, some ordinary person does something extraordinary. Today, it's your turn.

The continuous work of our life is to build death.
