My dad used to hunt ducks, and my mom would put them in the pot. We lived really modestly. We had very little money.

There's little money in theatre.

On the little money I had collected I lived in Berlin very cheaply, ate very cheaply. And already in 1920 I saved the first salaries I received to go to Munich.

We sometime didn't get enough to buy oats for our horses. Most banks had very little money in them.

Dad really had little to do with the songs, except to perform them.

My mom lived with me until I started making enough money to support myself. I was asking her to leave the entire time. I'd been ready to move out since I was, like, 14.
