"The money is what made me miserable. I want to be free of that stress." ― Ricky Williams Topic(s): Money More From Ricky Williams "I don’t feel like my speed or my power or my desire to play this game has diminished at all." "Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It’s nice." "I stepped away to find out more about myself, which I was having difficulty doing as a football player. I got a chance to travel the world. I studied Eastern philosophy, and I’ve grown as a person so much." More In Money "My first job was in sixth grade, sweeping the clay tennis courts at the yacht club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent. But I don’t really have any concept of how money works. I don’t know how much things cost. Like a BMW. Or a quart of milk. It’s embarrassing."― Chloe Sevigny "If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us."― David Suzuki "When I sent those scripts, that was the lowest point of my life. We’d just had our second son, and when I went to collect them from hospital, I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers, the screen showed I’ve got $26 left."― Ang Lee
