I would take one of 15 half-million-dollar cars I owned and go to the mall and spend that much money. Stupid, stupid stuff. It’s like it didn’t make a difference. They were ego investments. I would have been great with three or four cars. I didn’t need a 117-foot boat.

Horror films are the ones that pay the bills, and historically, they have shown that they are good investments. They helped Universal survive with that initial splash of horror films in the 1930s and ’40s. And horror films kept New Line alive with the ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ series.

We promote new fossil fuel infrastructure, from airport expansion and coal mines in the U.K. to oil pipelines in the U.S. Investments are meant to build and secure our shared future – but all these fossil fuel investments are directly fuelling the climate crisis that threatens to undermine that future.

I want to reignite the interest in hydro-electric investments.

Insurers reimburse critical care, not the avoidance of incidents. Therefore, investments are not targeted towards prevention.

My investments have been hurt.
