I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.
I don't get paid like a person that everyone knows, but I get paid so much more in so many ways.
'Banshee' was kind of a lark. I was getting paid pretty well to write movies no one was making - and so I decided to try my hand at TV and get paid much less to actually get something produced.
Most employees only want to know how much they get paid and how much time off they get - they probably don't have the mission in their souls.
You get paid what you deserve, according to the money that your movie generates. I get much more than a lot of male directors and I also get less than some. But I get paid what I deserve and what I ask for.
Golfers don't scream. Golfers just adjust the pleats in their pants and go from there. That's about as antagonistic as we get.
Who listens to golfers? They're boring. If I want to wear camouflage on the golf course during a tournament, I will. And I have.
Maitre d's are at the financial spigot of the restaurant, meaning they control who gets in and who doesn't, but aside from that, they don't do anything. And yet they get paid as much as the highest-paid people in the place.
I have such a deeper respect for firemen knowing how much they get paid and how much they put themselves on the line.
Writers sometimes are paid a great deal of money, but much more frequently they're not paid or are paid only a little bit.
I'm saying when young men get to the NCAA Tournament, let's find a way to get their parents and their brothers and sisters a plane ticket and a hotel room. I don't think that's asking too much.
If I didn't get paid to play this game, I'd still play it the exact same way, with as much intensity and as much focus as I play it with now.
When I prepare for any tournament, I just feel that I want to give my best in the tournament as I may not get the next opportunity and I don't want to regret it after this tournament.
Your ambition should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can, as much enjoyment, as much interest, as much experience, as much understanding. Not simply be what is generally called a 'success.'
In a way getting fired up for these matches is what makes the Premier League the hardest tournament for me. Knowing I can lose and still be in the tournament probably makes me relax too much sometimes.
When I was still doing indie, it was just purely art. I don't think about how much I will get paid or how much the movie will earn.
