Roxanne Quimby wanted money and power, and I was just a pillar on the way to that success.

I had no desire to be an upward-mobile-rising yuppie with a trophy wife, a trophy house, a trophy car. I wasn't looking for any of those things. I already had what I wanted.

The magic of living life for me is, and always has been, the magic of living on the land, not in the magic of money.

Money is nothing really worth squabbling about. This is what puts people six feet under. You know, I don't need it.

What do I need it for, millions of dollars? It just sounds like problems with the IRS to me.

My life is the land, the dogs, the car, the motorcycle, the pond, the canoe, going to pick up mail. It's just a rural retreat that I enjoy.
