Certainly there are things in life that money can’t buy, but it’s very funny – Did you ever try buying them without money?
I believe singing should be like being an actor. People shouldn’t have any problem buying an actor being in a comedy or a drama or a horror film. That should be the same way with music.
Unfortunately, in collective bargaining one party or the other too often tries to gain an advantage – a bargain, like buying something in a store for less than it is worth.
I’m very much involved in art. I started buying art a few years ago and really like the work of T.C. Cannon, who is a native American artist. Then I was introduced to Soviet-era Russian impressionism and started collecting that, especially Gely Korzhev.
People get surprised when they see you out buying a DVD at Best Buy like somebody else should be doing it for you or something! They’re like, ‘What are you doing your grocery shopping for?’ Well, ’cause I’m starving!
I kept buying bucket hats. Next thing I knew, I felt like I didn’t look right without one.

I’m a firm believer that all this packaged stuff that Americans are buying up in gobs is making them fatter.
Invest your money safely. Avoid the risky lure of spectacular returns; go for an investment that cannot lose its value. This is why I have put all my spare cash into buying not shares, but thousands of penny chews.
Kanye is going to have to decide early whether or not he’s a Baby Bjorn guy, because the minute you put on that Baby Bjorn, there’s no turning back. It’s like buying a minivan. You lose a little piece of yourself when you get that Baby Bjorn.
I’m addicted to ‘Lonely Planet’ guides. Naturally, I’ll buy one whenever I take a trip somewhere, but it goes beyond that: I’ve begun buying them for cities and countries I just hope to visit one day.
Frankly, people buying a home to let should not be squeezing out families who can’t afford a home to buy.
Besides buying a mansion or something, everything I wanted I always got. I’m just ready to invest it and save it. Otherwise, life can hit you, but you can’t go back to working at Home Depot. That’s why I always just be stacking.
Only now that I’m a mum can I fully understand the terrible pressure parents feel buying presents for their kids. My mum had four children plus all of the extended family and she not only had to feed us all but she bought presents for everyone, too.
My children’s favourite thing is to con me into buying them ice-cream if there’s not too big a queue at our local gelataria, Messina.
The Democratic Party now is an extension of this poisonous identity politics on college campuses and to be honest, I can only hope it continues because American by and large are not buying it.
Whether Congress decides to block GMO labeling is about more than the right to know what we’re buying and eating. It’s also about consumer confusion.
I didn’t want to become a chocolatier among others, buying ready-to-use couverture. I wanted to take the same approach I follow in my cuisine: putting the product first, revealing the authentic taste of the products.
I’m not a consumer. I hate buying clothes. I don’t have a mobile. I just don’t need things. I don’t like things.
On the morning, Daddy and I get up at six o’clock because Christmas trees must be bought in the dark. We walk to the other end of town, as the big harbour is just the right setting for buying a Christmas tree. We spend hours choosing, looking at every branch suspiciously. It’s always cold.
If you’re following candidates in a campaign, you get on their plane, and what they’re generally doing is they’re dividing the cost of that charter flight by the number of reporters they’re carrying aboard. In effect, the press is buying them that campaign flight.
So much value has been lost in the housing market that people are now buying. If there’s any activity in the housing market, it’s because values have plummeted to such depths that the 47% can now afford to live in a government-purchased house, or something like that.
I have a weakness for watches. I have to stop myself buying more.
But if people are buying the products, naturally they’re gonna use them.
My family have been wool merchants since the 19th century. My first job, aged 18, was buying fabric from my father to produce and sell ties. But I was also at university in Milan.
My granddaddy on my momma’s side, he was a romantic. He loved love songs. Every Valentine’s Day, I remember him buying a red carnation for my grandmomma, my momma and my sister. That was something you could count on every year.
When you’re a kid that’s spent all your pocket money buying Spider-Man comics, and then as an adult, you’re in the Marvel Universe, and you get to meet Stan Lee – it’s wonderful.
I love reading fashion magazines, buying handbags, the usual things – but when you’re in the moment and focusing on setting up the car, how you look is so irrelevant.
Fiction writing, and the reading of it, and book buying, have always been the activities of a tiny minority of people, even in the most-literate societies.

I feel like if I’m going to give you a book about my dad, then I really want to give you my dad, because he is interesting and he is funny and if you’re buying a book about him, I don’t want you to have to sit through stuff that’s not him.
I was happy buying and selling gold in bars, as it is easier and profitable.
When you’re doing a single-camera show, it’s more buying into a level of reality. I think a sitcom, a four-camera show, doesn’t require that so much. I think with a film show, you just need the characters to grow.
That’s what I paint, I paint people. They’re portraits, but you won’t always be pleased with the way you look in my paintings. Which is fine, I guess. Unless you’re buying it, and it’s of your kid!
I think we did a great job of putting together a program that would have made good e-books available had people been buying e-books in any real numbers.
I love getting out of the Q train at Union Square. It’s such a mix of people, like a party. There’s always an errand you can do along there, whether it’s picking up contacts or buying poker chips.
My kids wouldn’t dream of buying a newspaper – and we are a newspaper household.
I’m more user-experience and technology-minded. James is good at knowing what the user is going to buy, and the creative world he’s buying them into.
I find any kind of ‘organizing’ very difficult. And that has irksome consequences when it comes to books, since I’ve often wound up buying books twice because I couldn’t find what I already have in all my mess.
Every day, families in the United States face the stark choice between a roof over their heads and food on the table. Buying health insurance, owning a home, and saving up for college are just too far out of their reach.
A lot of people think that reptiles don’t feel, and they do. I think everyone should keep in mind what it is they are buying and if it is really worth it to them.
After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.
I love buying gifts for people who I am close to as I know their likes and dislikes.
Tokyo – still – offers the most tightly integrated infrastructure, where smooth, technology-driven experiences take place when engaging in everyday actions, such as verifying personal identity, paying for goods, and buying tickets.
I have regular peels and Botox. It’s something I’ll always do. People redecorate their homes every few years, and I see this as no different. Changing my face is like buying a new sofa.
The biggest mistake we made at WordPress.com in term of infrastructure was buying servers.
People think that buying something for their home which is up-to-date is chic, but often it’s a cliche. I call people who simply give clients the current ‘thing’ stylists not decorators.
There used to be rather serious firewalls between the artist and the buying public – the gallery, the publisher. And technology demolishes that wall and basically says, ‘Self-promote or die.’ And that is a bad head for any sort of artist to be forced into.
Buying a home is exciting, but it’s also a big financial commitment.
I’m hands-on with everything. I approve the designs of everything we do because that’s my brand that people are buying. I want it to look good.
