I do a lot of curiosity buying; I buy it if I like the album cover, I buy it if I like the name of the band, anything that sparks my imagination. I still like to go to record stores, I like to just wander around and I'll buy whatever catches my attention.
Bruce Springsteen

I would run into the corner store, the bodega, and just grab a paper bag or buy juice - anything just to get a paper bag. And I'd write the words on the paper bag and stuff these ideas in my pocket until I got back. Then I would transfer them into the notebook.
Jay-Z

I collect art, and I drink wine... things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, 'I'm going to buy art to impress this crowd.' That's just ridiculous to me. I don't live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?
Jay-Z

I never buy magazines, I never even buy books.
Marc Newson

If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie?
Howie Mandel

See that you buy the field where the Pearl is; sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy: for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory: many are lying dead by the way, slain with security.
Samuel Rutherford

It isn't as important to buy as cheap as possible as it is to buy at the right time.
Jesse Livermore

The best time to buy a home is always five years ago.
Ray Brown

It is much simpler to buy books than to read them and easier to read them than to absorb their contents.
William Osler

I just wrote a book, but don't go out and buy it yet, because I don't think it's finished yet.
Lawrence Welk

I abhor a hoe. I am fond of flowers but not of dirt, and had rather buy them than cultivate them.
Lyman Abbott

Time will take your money, but money won't buy time.
James Taylor

I'm going to buy some green bananas because by the time I get home they'll be ripe.
Ryan Stiles

I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.
Francesca Annis

When I see something I like, I buy it, but I do not look for it madly.
David Rockefeller

I've had lots of kids come up and ask for my autograph, I've had a grandmother stop me and ask me if I know a good place to buy underwear.
Prince William

When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.
Billy Joel

Miramax can buy a small independent movie that isn't very good, but because it has great relationships with different theaters, it can get into a big theater.
Marguerite Moreau

I buy newspapers to make money to buy more newspapers to make more money.
Lord Thomson of Fleet

It's good to have it over with. I worked on it a long time, and I didn't know what people were going to think of it. Would people like it? Would they buy it? So far it's been doing pretty well.
Michael Chabon
