I definitely want to win a gold medal, that should be everybody’s goal.
I am concerned about the erraticness of the dollar. The dollar is up, the dollar is down. We print a lot of dollars. The dollar gets devalued. That is really the concern.

I can’t immediately get all this coverage when my record comes out. The way I sell gold and platinum records is by being on the road.
Nina Gold is a fantastic casting director. She’s doing the new ‘Star Wars’ movies, but she also does ‘Game of Thrones’ and many of the Working Title movies, and she did ‘Rush.’
In terms of my career, having the gold definitely changed my life. The Olympics are different, you know? They’re every four years and it’s such a small group.
An Olympic gold medal is something that almost seems like a fantasy. Yes, of course I want it, since I was a little kid, before I even knew what the World Cup tour was.

I love having my hoop earrings. Just regular gold hoops.
I’m not to be confused with Natasha Henstridge in ‘Species,’ where I just emerge out of the weird alien womb looking amazing. I really rely heavily on my black outfits and my gold chains to give me sort of a thing.
The inflated imitations of gold and silver, which after the rapture are thrown into the fire, all is exhausted and dissipated by the debt. All scrips and bonds are wiped out. At the fourth pillar dedicated to Saturn, split by earthquake and flood: vexing everyone, an urn of gold is found and then restored.
I’ve never had a bank account in Switzerland since 1984. Why would the Swiss do this to me? Maybe the Swiss are trying to divert attention from the Holocaust gold scandal.

I was blessed with a long career where I won gold medals for myself and my country. Nothing stands out as a disappointment.

I think gold is made for kings and pharaohs – that’s what I am.
I got this tiger head ring that’s similar to a Cartier ring. I had my jeweler Sean from Detroit make it similar to the Cartier ring, but gold and diamonded-out. That’s my Detroit tiger. It’s made with two different golds – the bottom is yellow and the top is gold.

Every athlete wants to win an Olympic gold medal, and I’d be lying if I said that’s not what I wanted.
Historically, gold has always been a safe haven against inflation and a safe haven in times of political instability.
When people think of the West, it’s easy to envision wagon trains, Buffalo Bill, the glory days of the Gold Rush. Cowboy hats come to mind.
I believe in all of these Irish myths, like leprechauns. Not the pot of gold, not the Lucky Charms leprechauns. But maybe was there something in the traditional sense? I believe that this stuff came from somewhere other than people’s imaginations.
This cycle of make a record, tour has been going on for 20 years now. I don’t even know why I do it sometimes. Do I need more money? Do I need more platinum and gold records? The only thing I can think of is ego.
