If a man is prodigal, he cannot be truly generous.
I put on such a good show, the story is outrageous, and people don't want to hear that I'm basically a reasonable human being. As long as it continues to get me print, I'll continue to perform in an exuberant manner.
I like reading books where people with a lot of money use it to do whatever they want. Like stay in expensive hotels and do whatever drugs they want and fly wherever they want.
Even though sugar was very expensive, people consumed it till their teeth turned black, and if their teeth didn't turn black naturally, they blackened them artificially to show how wealthy and marvelously self-indulgent they were.
Mania's premonitory signs are unusual acts of extravagance, manifested by the purchase of houses, and certain expensive and unnecessary articles of furniture.

We're all well-acquainted with depression, we all know what the low moods are, but the mania was not something I knew much about. I didn't know that it would make someone dress extravagantly or start to pun, and to stay up and drink.
There's something wildy decadent about the young-star lifestyle, and I just don't really see the point. I got my partying out of my system in college.
I spoil a lot of people with my play.
Rich people are so eccentric, and I don't think people really realize. Especially by the turn of the century, they were living like rappers.
To be extravagant you need money. True. But you do not need your own money.
