I got good advice once. Someone said to me: 'Live in your money rather than look at it.'

To buy very good wine nowadays requires only money. To serve it to your guests is a sign of fatigue.

The three biggest fashion mistakes are cheap suits, shoes, and shirts. Spend your money on something good.

I'm a bit of a hothead in certain circumstances, but you've got to temper it because your fans are there, and they've paid good money to see a show.

I need them, need them to give me a kick up the arse. Otherwise I'd just be sat-in getting fat, counting me money. It's good people living on your doorstep and looking through your bins. Gives you energy.

Awards are important for all directors because they improve your working conditions. You're only as good as your last film, so if you get prizes or large audiences, then you get more money for your next film.

Figure out what you do the most in your day, then put your money toward those kinds of clothes. If I'm spending a big part of my day driving my kids to and from preschool, I'll buy loungewear or workout clothes that I feel good in.

Commissions add up, taxes are a big drag, margin ain't cheap. A good accountant costs money as well. The math on this one is obvious, yet investors often fail to recognize it: Keep your costs low and your turnover lower, and you will win in the end.
