I haven't got a car or a house. I've got a wife but I didn't pay for her! I spend all my money on my glorious wife. She's here with a knife at my throat!

You always hear the phrase money doesn't buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it's not really true. I got a new car because the old one's lease expired.

My health is wonderful. I work out. I'm working. Playing music. I have a beautiful wife a nice home a nice car I got money in the bank. I got three beautiful dogs that love me. Like I said I'm blessed. I survived.

I mean you have a general tone of it but it's pretty much you get to come in and you're going to flip this car and it's going to blow up and you're going to come out on fire and you go oh that's cool and then you get paid a lot of money.

If you or me go to the gas station to fill up our car and it costs us much more than we expected it will zap our discretionary income. We won't have the extra money to buy that washing machine or new winter coat-all big ticket items that are important to economic growth.

I was a little different. I still say I'm a little different because success to me is not having the most money or having the biggest car or the biggest house.

Eventually I did that but it took a lot of twists and turns and there were a year or two there where I was living with no money at all - no home no car no nothing. I was living in somebody's garage in Los Angeles at that point - for a year.

I think I'm pretty smart on what I spend my money on. I still don't have a new car I drive my old car that I've had forever. But I bought a house in downtown Chicago.

In college my big money memory was saving up to buy a car with my boyfriend whom I lived with.

I arrived in California with no job no car and no money but like millions of other girls a dream.
