Mike Rowe explains why he owned virtually nothing for years despite saving every penny. "I lived in hotels 'cause most of the work I was doing was on the road. So some network somewhere was paying for it. I didn't own any clothing 'cause the shows all came with...

Nick Young says Iggy Azalea took all the furniture from the house and the classic '64 Impala after their breakup “We had a deal where I get the house and she put the furniture in. So I got the house and she didn't trust my style of buying furniture and stuff, so she was like she's going to pay for it. After it was over, I come back, all the furniture was gone. Bed gone” “I came home and everything was gone. I came home to a tow truck towing the car she got me. A '64 Impala for my birthday. It was clean too. Drop-top. It was on the tow truck. I'm like, ‘What the.’ It was still in her name” “I loved that car because it was blue, it was LA. She took that. So I was being petty. I took the ring back”

“There was no power, and the entire country was living off diesel (gasoline). I had a lot of friends in government who used to sell it to me, and I used it to power my house. One day, I came home and there was no light, so I moved my whole family to a hotel. I called a friend and asked where I could get diesel. He gave me the contact of a company, and I bought it from them, but it was very expensive. When the truck came to my house and I looked at the meter on it, I said to myself, ‘I could do this business.’ I told my manager to call the manager of that company because I wanted to buy the company, but they refused. So, I bought a second-hand pickup and started selling diesel myself around the estate. My friends even laughed at me whenever we met at the club. Today, I am an oil tycoon.” — Femi Otedola

Jim Parsons admits he spent the first nine years of The Big Bang Theory completely miserable and trapped in obsessive OCD, declaring he wouldn't repeat it for any amount of money "I was sober for nine years filming Big Bang, and I look back now and realize that at some of the best moments of my life, I was miserable. I was not happy, I was stressed, and I felt like there were so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air." "I thought the success and the good things happening were only due to this overworking discipline. But I made myself miserable, and I wouldn't do that again for any amount of money." "It translated in part into a work ethic, but it was really just obsessive behavior. It was kind of OCD in nature. I had a list of things in my head that I had to get done in order to be comfortable and know that I could do my job right" "And that came at the detriment of friends, family, and missing tons of life."

Actor William Fichtner explains how the lowest point of his career, long before his success, became the turning point that kept him going: He shares a moment from his early days in New York when everything he'd worked for felt like it was slipping away. "I think I was 30 years old and I was in New York and I hit the end of the road. I ran out of money. I had no commercial residual. I had nothing." After a few years of scraping by, a little money in theater and a few residuals from commercials, he had to go back to waiting tables. And it crushed him to compare himself to everyone he'd come up with: "I felt like I was falling backwards and I was 30 now. Everybody that I knew I graduated college with [had] a company car and I was just... it was depressing." He describes the morning he went to ask for a brunch shift at the White Horse Tavern in the West Village, a place he knew people went to: "I woke up. I was brushing my teeth. I started crying. I really was. I was walking that street going, 'Just, it's all right, man. It's all right. You're not falling backwards. You're not going off the end of the earth.'" On the walk, it got worse before it got better. He passed someone from his past: "I passed a guy that I hadn't seen in a couple of years that was like kind of like an old friend. And I said hi to him and he walked by and he just kind of looked at me like he didn't recognize me. It was horrible. It was just horrible." Then he walked into the restaurant, and the manager met him with hostility, telling him he was on the schedule the day before, hadn't even started, and was already fired. But instead of breaking him, it freed him: "I said, 'Thank you.' I walked out of there. I said, 'I have absolutely nothing right now and I'm feeling so good and I'm not working at your f****** restaurant today, buddy.'" He went home to find a place to re-energize. Looking back, that brutal day became a great one: "Just great, great day." The lowest point can feel like proof you're failing, but sometimes it's just part of the process. Years before his success, that morning could have ended his career. Instead it became the turning point that kept him going.

Tony Robbins reveals he put $10,000 into a penny stocks at 18 and lost everything “When I was like 18, I lived in Marina Del Rey, and this woman pulled up in a brand new Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible. She was a knockout. I was dumb enough to think I had a moment with her, so I talked to her and asked what business she was in. She said, ‘My husband’s business, he’s in penny stocks.’ And I said the dumbest thing you could say, ‘Do you have any tips?’” “She said, ‘Actually, we do. We’ve got a penny stock that’s about to shoot.’ I took $10K, which was a huge amount for me at the time. It went up for a little, and then it went through the floor, and that’s what taught me you don’t speculate”

David Tepper says he bought and demolished the Hamptons mansion of his former Goldman Sachs boss, John Corzine, for $43.5 million to get revenge for years of humiliation. “I worked on the high-yield bond desk in the late ’80s. I was considered one of the best. Then I found out Corzine had passed me over for partnership yet again. I was absolutely devastated and humiliated” “Then came another rejection. And another. I kept thinking, ‘My God, I just can’t break through. It’s always another “no” from the people at the top” “In 1992, I left and founded Appaloosa. Within ten years, I had become a billionaire. And he was still there” “In 2010, I bought his old Hamptons mansion from his ex-wife for $43.5 million. I could have just lived in it. I said, No” “I tore it down completely and built a house twice the size. That was my way of settling the score for all those years of humiliation”

This realtor showed up at a house that she was supposed to show, as far as she knows the house is empty. She walks in and starts to setup for a showing and hears loud noises from within the house, startled, she runs out of the door struggling to get a rational explanation. Working on so many houses throughout the years, this hits close to home for me. I’ve experienced this more than I can count. There was a house that stuck with me, when I was renovating it, I even moved in to make it easier for me. It was a small 2 bedroom home, about 1100 sq ft. One day while working in the attic I felt a tug on my hair. This was when I had long hair and I tied it up in the back. But it felt like a pronounced and intentional tug. Later on I was able to confirm it was a child due to the small stature on the SLS camera. It explained the mischievous nature, of course it was a kid that liked to play pranks. The occupants in that home were never malevolent. Just curious. When asked how many there were on the spirit box, a voice proclaimed there were 7 of them. If you had spirits in your home, would you want to know? I know for the longest time I didn’t want to know, I figured it didn’t matter since I couldn’t see them anyways. Now, every time I enter a new home, I always run a sweep for activity. Not surprisingly most houses have a few occupants already present, they just choose not to be acknowledged.

Bill Murray says losing the Oscar for Lost in Translation actually saved him from catching a dangerous "virus" of greed and ego: "Have any sadness over not winning the Academy Award? I mean, you were nominated... I don't even know who you lost to. Do you have any idea?" "I do. Sean Penn... for a movie called Mystic River." "Did that bother you at all?" "You know, it was just a—it was sort of surprising. And I won every other prize for Lost in Translation, so I just sort of thought I was going to win because I'd won everything. Every single one. And then I didn't win that one." "It was kind of good. I realized that I'd actually gotten sort of infected by wanting to win it, you know? That it was a—that I'd contracted a low-grade virus of... the desire for more, you know?" "I had it for about six months, and it had to wear off. So I did learn a lesson from it, that if I'd won, I might not have ever seen."

In the winter of 2021 I went on the road for 2 weeks and hit as many wrestling schools as I could. I did a seminar and then wrestled a match. Some matches were actual shows, other times it was just at the school in front of no one. I recorded the whole trip. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. All things worth doing are difficult. I love y’all.

Kesha reveals how difficult it was spending nine years in litigation fighting for the rights to her voice, her face, and herself back after signing a record deal at 18. She says that during the litigation, she’d go on tour and perform hit songs, but it was really difficult and lonely because of the anxiety and fear she was living with, saying it felt like she was being punished. “I got found when i was 17 and i signed the record deal at 18 years old. And this record deal signed away the rights to my voice and likeness in perpetuity in the universe. It’s such a weird concept that somebody else can own something that’s coming from inside of my body, like that’s so weird spiritually speaking. And to really be fighting for the rights to my own voice, and my own face, to myself. Like what are we talking about for it to go on and on, nine years is a long time. And there was a lot of support and that support carried me through. Like one tweet could carry me through for months. Like one stranger on Twitter that I should not be on Twitter, but I was and I saw them and like that would carry me for a really long time. It was hard. in this litigation I would go out on tour and I would sing the hit songs and I tried but it was really difficult, complicated, really confusing for me, even like the emotions were so complicated. I was so lonely in how anxious I was and how much fear I had because we're told to speak up and stand up for ourselves and say something, you know, and I felt like why am I getting like punished”

I dated a girl once and she was extremely beautiful. She worked for DNA models. She ate a terrible diet that horrified me. She thought she had to. By far the strangest thing about her was that she would listen to the same song for over 4 hours in a row, every day She'd come home exhausted, climb into bed and put on her huge expensive headphones and start playing her song. It was this song. It was no secret, I could always hear it through the headphones. In her music app she only had this song and she put it on a permanent loop. Some days she'd listen to it for 4 hours. Other days for more. Occasionally at the weekends if she really needed to recover in bed, she'd listen for 8 hours or more When I was around her, I'd listen too. Not because I wanted to, but you could always hear it a little from her headphones, in the background. At a certain point, it started to feel normal. At the start, I asked her why she did it and she said "I just love this song, why would I listen to anything else". I really liked her answer. So I didn't challenge it. She said she'd been doing it for years Sometimes I'd pick her up from shoots in the city and the moment she met me she'd ask if she could please put her headphones on and listen to music. Then she'd start. She wouldn't do it in public without me there, because she wanted to stay aware of her surroundings. But if I was there, she could put her headphones on straight away and just trust she was safe. She'd listen to her song and rest on my shoulder and close her eyes as we rode the subway home Throughout our relationship we didn't talk much, really. It was more of a physical thing. Not in a superficial way. Not just lust. I mean that we were both completely satisfied just resting on each other, without speaking. We liked physical contact, or a sense of shared physical beingness. But neither of us needed to talk like most people do and we really savored that about each other I actually really loved it when she put her headphones on and entered her cosy,safe space. It was like she was entering into a little coccoon. With time, I realized it was a kind of recovery protocol and a meditative trance. It anchored a state of rest for her that she desperately needed. She didn't have OCD or any other compulsions. It was just this one thing. This one particular song. It was like a little cave she entered to heal from the stress of the day and burdens of existence. I dated her for 2 years and she did it every single day, up until the end. When I kissed her goodbye on the final day, she had her big headphones hanging around her neck and the song was playing through them. It was the last thing I heard, on the last day I looked into her eyes

Dolly Parton reveals the truth behind her career-launching partnership with Porter Wagoner "My relationship with Porter was kind of up and down. We kind of collided all the time cause we were both very strong-willed, very confident people" "I never had planned to be just a girl singer in somebody else's show. I wanted to be a girl singer that was gonna be my own person and be a star on my own" "His show really became much bigger because of our duets and our collaboration together and just the way we worked together" "It was kind of like Sonny and Cher. You know, we were kind of fire and ice, we'd kind of go against each other" "We fought a lot, but there was a lot of love, there was a lot of respect. I learned a lot from Porter" "I had told him that I would stay for five years... even though the times were rough, I managed to stay seven years before I went out on my own"

Paul George says he bought a Ferrari on eBay for $120,000 after signing his first big contract “I just made my deal, and I was still trying to be cheap at the same time. This is how cheap I was though. My ass went on eBay to look up Ferraris” “I bought a Ferrari F430, all black. It was low mileage. The dude was actually a cool. He owned a ton of cars. He had a huge car collection. He was like, ‘I'll sell it to you.’ He was a fan, so I got it for the low” “I loved it because it was that thing that symbolized you made it. For me as a kid, it was a Ferrari. I don't care if I got $100,000 in the bank. If I got a Ferrari in the garage, I'm lit. I made it.” “Ironic enough, every deal that I signed, I went and got a different Ferrari. I think I ended up paying like $120,000. I met him. I introduced him to my financial partner and let them do the transaction”

He had a huge car collection. He was like, ‘I'll sell it to you.’ He was a fan, so I got it for the low” “I loved it because it was that thing that symbolized you made it. For me as a kid, it was a Ferrari. I don't care if I got $100,000 in the bank. If I got a Ferrari in the garage, I'm lit. I made it.” “Ironic enough, every deal that I signed, I went and got a different Ferrari. I think I ended up paying like $120,000. I met him. I introduced him to my financial partner and let them do the transaction”

Kyrie Irving says winning the 2016 NBA championship left him feeling empty: “I didn't know who I was” “It was like climbing up one of the tallest mountains in the world, winning the championship. And when I got up there and you realized that all the accolades and all the achievements, yeah, it feels good, it feels great to add that to the career. But I just felt empty. After I done traveled, after I done partied, after I done spent a bunch of money, after I asked for more deals. You know, we all been through it” “Feeling on top of that mountain, after a while I just felt like I didn't really know who I was. I didn't know what my future was gonna be.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."
