Tom Hanks opines: Money doesn’t bring happiness

Cast Away star Tom Hanks has said in a statement that he is not bothered about the amount of money he used to earn in his early days or now what he is getting in his big paydays. He quoted, “My attitude to money? On a 1980 TV series called 'Bosom Buddies' I made USD 5,000 a week. If I had made that kind of money for the rest of my life I would have been happy, honestly. But I have been getting ludicrous sums of money for quite some time.”

The 57-year old stated, “The best part is not owing money to anyone. Money, though, has never been my driving force. You can live in the biggest and best house in the world but it can be shit if you are unhappy.” The actor is ready with two flicks of him to be released soon; Captain Phillips and Saving Mr. Banks. Tom will start filming for Inferno soon, which is a 2015 release.
