Money can't buy happiness.

I'd learned how much happiness money can bring you. Very little.

My family didn't have a lot of money and I'm grateful for that. Money is the longest route to happiness.

I was as happy doing theater in New York for little or no money as I am now doing television for more money. The happiness I guess comes out of it being a good job. The success has to do with the fact that it's a good job that will continue.

Money brings some happiness. But after a certain point it just brings more money.

Money is not necessarily although it helps a lot for happiness it's not necessarily the best way to be happy to be rich you know.

Inequality makes everyone unhappy the poor most of all and that is well within the remit of the state. More money gives less extra happiness the richer we get yet we are addicted to earning and spending more every year.

You can have a lot of unhappiness by not having money but the reverse is no guarantee of happiness.

I think money is essential to happiness and right now I wouldn't want to be anyone other than Wilbur Smith - I've had a fantastic life rewarded far more heavily than I deserve. Maybe I'd like to be J. K. Rowling but I'll settle for second best.

There once was a demographic survey done to determine if money was connected to happiness and Ireland was the only place where this did not turn out to be true.
