I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard. When I got polio and then went back to school, they made me a guard. A teacher took away my guard button." "I wanted to write and direct movies and not be forced to adapt them from a bestselling book." "Art depends on luck and talent." More In Money "Don’t cling to fame. You’re just borrowing it. It’s like money. You’re going to die, and somebody else is going to get it."― Sonny Bono "If you wait until your children are high school seniors to spring it on them that there’s not a whole lot of money for school, they won’t have too many options."― Suze Orman "People have taken time out of their day and spent their money to come sit down at a concert. And it’s jazz music-it’s not easy for them to get to it. I don’t want them ever to feel that I’m taking their presence lightly."― Wynton Marsalis
