This joy of discovery is real, and it is one of our rewards. So too is the approval of our work by our peers.
It is very rewarding to serve the country by helping President Bush work to reduce the drug problem.
You never think the universe will reward your first choice - it just doesn't work like that.
I live in the present. When I finish a film, it is behind me. My reward is in my work, not in a lot of old memories.
That's an important lesson for me, to not qualify my experience against somebody else's. My experience is the experience that I wanted to have, and have created for myself, but it doesn't make me any more deserving than anybody else - or less.
