“One kid’s old, used-up equipment is another kid’s brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.”

I can take $15,000 a year and raise kids on that. Later, they’ll figure out I’ve got millions, but hopefully they’ll have the values to say, ‘So what?

I have an eight-year-old girl and she does have some appreciation for fashion, but she’s stuck in that.

When you get old, it’s hard to tell what’s memory and what you’ve kind of created in your head as memory, you know?

Obviously I clearly wouldn’t like that person if I knew ’em better.
