Since I am known as a 'rich' person, I feel I have to tip at least $5 each time I check my coat. On top of that, I would have to wear a very expensive coat, and it would have to be insured. Added up, without a topcoat I save over $20,000 a year.
My obsession is TV and movies, so I order an obscene amount of DVDs. And I have an obsession with handbags. So once a year, I treat myself to a luxury handbag.
When an actor has money he doesn't send letters, he sends telegrams.
It's the old story: do you want a normal car, or something top of the range? That is how I am - the older I am, the more expensive I am!
If I splurge on anything, it's cologne. I love smelling good.
I don't spend money on the lavish life, but I spend on excessive green juices.
When I became a man, I put away childish things and got more elaborate and expensive childish things from France and Japan.
I've paid for more pianos in hotel lobbies than you can imagine.
A man must have vices, expensive ones if possible. Otherwise when he reaches old age he will have nothing to be redeemed from.
I used to have about a hundred suits in my late twenties and early thirties when my stock was riding high and I was rich.
I got a wife who likes expensive things, so she takes all the cash.
For the record, I've never taken a bung in my life. I might have enjoyed a meal or a bottle of wine on an agent or two but that is it. I was earning £1.5m a year, so I didn't need a little bit extra from an agent. It would have been madness.
I've always lived cheaply. I live like a student, basically. And I like that because it means that money is not telling me what to do. I can do what I think is important for me to do. It freed me to do what seemed worth doing. So make a real effort to avoid getting sucked into all of the expensive lifestyle habits of typical Americans ... because, if you do that, then the people with the money will dictate what you do with your life. You won't be able to do what's really important to you.
You can almost judge how screwed up somebody is by the kind of toilet paper they use. Go in any rich house and it's some weird coloured embossed stuff.
For eight long years, the Obamas spent our tax dollars for a lavish jet-setting lifestyle.
Being cultured is the least expensive form of respectability.
I take a few quick sips. "This is really good." And I mean it. I have never tasted tea like this. It is smooth, pungent, and instantly addicting. "This is from Grand Auntie," my mother explains. "She told me 'If I buy the cheap tea, then I am saying that my whole life has not been worth something better.' A few years ago she bought it for herself. One hundred dollars a pound." "You're kidding." I take another sip. It tastes even better.
I live an odd existence. I dip into bizarre, very expensive worlds, and then I'm back with a bang to reality, and I put the bins out.
I have developed a life which seems to need a relatively high income.
We're constantly buying airplane tickets; we travel on the Concorde.
I once had money to burn. I'd fly to Barbados for the weekend. I lived in a twenty-two-room mansion and had my pick of four luxury cars.
I don't spend a bunch of money on jewelry or sunglasses, because I lose them a lot.
I've been on a 46-year diet of olives and alcohol. The latter I consume. The former I save and use over again in more alcohol. In my lifetime, I imagine, I have consumed at least $200,000 worth of whisky.
First-class travel, provided one hasn't to pay for it oneself, is the most insidiously addictive of life's luxuries.
I'm so spoiled - I must have a Starbucks vanilla latte every day.
