“I take my investment advice from my dentist, because he’s just as likely to lose me money as a financial advisor.”

“But most important, it made me look as if I ate hidden heirlooms—and financial advisors—for breakfast.”

“My financial views are of the most decided character, but they are not likely, perhaps, to increase my popularity with the advocates of inflation. I do not insist upon the special supremacy of rag money or hard money. The great fundamental principle of my life is to take any kind I can get.”

“My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends - I can give them advice, but they don't have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people.”

“My advice is don’t take advice from anybody. This is good advice, and as such, it’s bad advice.”

“I don't need to be liked because I'm rich. There's more to me than just my bloodied damn money.”
