When the reporter followed up to see if he was exaggerating, Richard replied: “When I use the phrase “I’m broke”, it means I’m broke. It means I don’t have the money I had. I wanted to retire and take my wife on cruises. I can’t afford that. I want to be able to go to Europe when I want. I can’t… The Truth is hard to say or hear, but I’ve had an amazing amount of bad luck financially and I realized I didn’t have the money I had.”Richard acknowledged that he was never good with money. Being twice divorced and an admitted former cocaine user clearly did not help his financial situation. He also proudly never took a film role for the money alone and retired from acting which may have been a mistake in hindsight.
