I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.

When you are 81 years old, you don't really need a lot of the trappings of wealth.

I suppose in the back of my mind I was always one of those guys who had a disdain for money. It had a value if you wanted to buy something, but if you didn't want to buy something, you didn't need it.

I was with a special services unit in the Korean war, and when I got out, the biggest thing I got was a GI scholarship.

You don't do a business for pleasure: You have to make money.

We learned many years ago that the rich may have money, but the poor have time.

When I started off as an actor, the last thing I wanted to do in the world was make money. I was under the impression, when I started off as an actor, that the more money I made, the more it would diminish from my creativity and my capacity to be an artist.

And, you know, money is - the money edge is really dangerous to democracy. Because what you have right now - people have said to me that, look, you'll always be outspent, so how can you ever win?
