Photographed by Cédric Buchet, Ray Donovan star Liev Schreiber covers the August 2016 issue of Esquire. Connecting with writer Ariel Leve, Schreiber reflects on his upbringing. The child of a single mother and artist, Schreiber shares, “At the time, I thought not having money was a drag. That’s why I wanted to make money. I think I associated hard work with poverty. Now I know better.”

The 48-year-old actor explains, “My mom was an artist. That’s why she worked so hard. She painted and she drew. She loved books more than anybody I’ve ever met in my life. She taught me nothing matters but the moment of discovery and everything else is bullshit. Which isn’t true…”

Discussing his own thoughts on money, Schreiber reveals, “I may have been a little brainwashed by my mom as a kid into thinking that money was bad. I don’t believe that, but I think there’s some residual guilt.” Maturing into adulthood, he says, “I knew that I didn’t want to live the way my mom wanted to live. We didn’t share that spirit. I wanted to take care of her and I wanted to have things. I really wanted material things as a kid.” Read more on Esquire.com.
