Rashida Jones Quotes

Money doesn't matter on a deeply personal level. It doesn't make you feel any happier. But of course I am very aware that I don't have to worry about earning a living or about those very important practical things that most people have to worry about on a very real level.

I joined a band because I didn't like school, and there's nothing else I'd rather have done. If I really wanted to make money, I'd be in real estate. But I'm rich enough. I have a son and daughter, a lovely home, and if I see something I like, I can buy it. That's rich enough.

Moneymaking was never anything to me. I was happy never making money; I just was happy doing things I liked. But I fell into the money thing. I now don't feel guilty about it, but I am determined to give away the bulk of it and enjoy doing it.

But if you don't enjoy doing something, you'll be miserable no matter how much money you make.

My philosophy has always been, 'do what you love and the money will follow.'

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort

In the end, you're trying to find God. That's the result of not being satisfied. And it doesn't matter how much money, or property, or whatever you've got, unless you're happy in your heart, then that's it.

Just to be able to make money doing what you love - you can't ask for anything more.

I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.

I say always follow your passion, no matter what, because even if it's not the same financial success, it'll lead you to the money that'll make you the happiest.

I play to be happy in the first place and then to help my colleagues and my team the best way I can, with the best football.

Success is not defined by money or status, necessarily, but by how many people you've impacted and how fulfilled you feel with your decisions. If you can garner all of these things, then more power and success to you, but all in all, you must feel happy and satisfied with what you personally have put out into the world.

No amount of money can replace the kind of happiness and satisfaction I derive out of writing.

Money will not make you happy. It's most important that you need to be happy. You need to do something you want to do.

Money is a bonus of the job, but it doesn't always make you happy.

I like my life. I like competing, but it's not just because of the money.

I've had moments in my career when I've made more money and had more success than at other times, but I've realized being happy has very little to do with any of that.

For me, success isn't even about money. It's about getting to do what you love and supporting yourself. Everything that comes after that is bonus, unless your only goal is to be rich. If that's your goal, you're going to find out that once you have a little bit, you want a lot. Then once you have a lot, you want a lot more.

What's the third metric beyond money and power? I think it's a combination of wellbeing and wisdom. Because the problem also with defining success just in terms of money and power means that people feel that they have to work around the clock, burn out, and the result is people making terrible decisions.
