I can't say I'm a huge fan of his music, but I love the quote. It's from a speech at the TCM Young Film Composers Award Ceremony.
"Never let your wife prevent you from buying equipment. A house will not buy a synthesizer, but a synthesizer can buy a house." - Hans Zimmer

Music thing: Hans Zimmer on synth shopping etiquette
A lot of the post's comments disagree with Hans, but they have apparantly not heard of the housing bubble.
Let me clarify that you need to actually do something productive with that synthesizer or else it won't buy you a house. If you are just going to sit around all day making helicopter sounds and playing the opening measures of Jump by Van Halen over and over again, you should probably buy the house instead.
