I have always examined closely the motives of any group for which I am asked to raise money.
You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.

When a book is just a plot, you know, two men fight for the love of a woman in a wild frontier, I immediately ask, 'Why?'
If anyone asks you what kind of music you play, tell him 'pop.' Don't tell him 'rock'n'roll' or they won't even let you in the hotel.
