In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you`re told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.

(On starting out in L.A. and his fame level now) A little job here, a little job there, and after six months in L.A., I was paying for my rent and my meals. Very slowly, the tiniest of snowballs snowballed from there. At some point, the snowball got to be...
James Marsden
On her Playboy bunny experience - "I worked there for two months when I was 19. I needed rent money and they were paying more to stand at the gift shop than I`d have got working at a clothing store. And I thought the costumes were cute."
Sherilyn Fenn
The two times I performed at the White House, for the Kennedy Center Honors, I was made fun of. The first time, in 2001, I wore a nice Gucci suit and tie, which cost more than my rent. And when I met President Bush, he said, `Thanks for dressing up.` Ever...
Patrick Wilson
My parents were as much under the thumb of everyone else [and the network, and all the people that are part of the Hollywood machine] as I was. I have worked on episodes of Diff`rent Strokes" (1978) 15 hours straight. And everyone was looking the other wa...
Gary Coleman
First of all, I choose the great roles, and if none of these come, I choose the mediocre ones, and if they don`t come, I choose the ones that pay the rent.
Michael Caine
[On his money setbacks]: I trusted my manager with my money during my illness. Now I was broke. Money woes stayed with me. I grabbed whatever pictures were offered. Admittedly films like Malone (1987), _Rent-A-Cop (1987)_ and Switching Channels (1988) all...
Burt Reynolds
[On the death of "Diff`rent Strokes" (1978) co-star Dana Plato] "It`s very unfortunate that Dana is no longer with us - she was a wonderful woman, but her death was a welcome, though sad piece of closure to "Diff`rent Strokes". The possibility of a reunio...

Gary Coleman
That transition from child to adult actor is so incredibly elusive. The roles that were coming to me as a young adult were not that great, but I was taking them anyway to pay the rent. And the more bad roles in bad movies I took, the less anybody wanted m...
Jackie Earle Haley
It`s hard to absorb and to allow all that attention and accolades for Rent because the rest of the country doesn`t know who we are. Once I walk out of the door of Rent, and I`m on the subway, it doesn`t matter. It`s an exaggerated sense of fame. - on the ...

[On life before Wonder Woman]: "To tell you the truth, I couldn`t pay my next month`s rent when I got the part. I was thrilled to have a pilot of my own."
Lynda Carter
When Diff`rent Strokes" (1978) got canceled, I was enormously thrilled and was very much looking forward to starting the rest of my life."
Gary Coleman
My mother had a marvelous talent for mishandling money - mine. When I was put under stock contract at Metro and had a steady income for the first time, we lived in a four-unit apartment building. I suggested to Mother that we buy it as an investment and r...
Judy Garland
There are many different reasons why people take parts. For me, there are basically two: one is economic -- you have to keep working, pay the rent; that`s a given. The other one, for me, usually has nothing to do with the overall film - whether the script...
Scott Glenn
I am definitely less green than I was back then. What I meant by that was that I wasn`t an actor and really at that point had no intention of continuing to pursue acting. What I did in Rent" was just very natural. From day one I just connected to the role...
Adam Pascal
I thoroughly enjoyed those years. I liked Westerns for two reasons: First, it took the actor outside. They were all very physical at that time and not limited to a stage. Second, they paid my rent an awful lot.
DeForest Kelley
I probably made a few pictures I shouldn`t have done, but I have four sons and I have to pay the rent. If you have a decision to make about whether or not you can buy groceries at the market or whether or not you`re going to make a bad movie, you`re going...
Michael Madsen
You know, this sounds so random, but I would rent out all the rooms in the Madonna Inn - it`s in San Luis Obispo, California - and have one final bash with all my friends and loved ones.
Aaron Ruell
You can do three things with a fixer-upper: You can buy it to live in it. You can fix it and flip it. Or you can fix it and rent it out. I`ve done all three, and all three have worked for me.
John Beal
