The studio is spending great amounts of money, and they want some insurance they will get money back. They go for the middle of the road, broad in appeal. It's restrictive. It's a constant struggle, but if you give in, you're just making cottage chee...
I had a great shoe contract and glove contract with a company who paid me a lot of money never to be seen using their stuff.
I can always go back to construction. That's great money, but the problem is you can cut off your hand.
I'm always being accused of being a Hollywood Republican, but I'm not! I have just as many Democratic ideas as Republican ones. If they could build three fewer bombs every month and give the money to foster care, that would be great.
The successful companies try to keep the new entrants down. Now that's great for a company like ours. We make more money that way because we have less competition and less innovation. But for the country as a whole, it's horrible.
I think, in a way, I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed, but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money fo...

I remember, after graduating high school, I got a part in a play with the Washington Shakespeare Festival - a little part. But I remember thinking this would be a great way of making a living... to be an actor. I never really thought I'd make a lot o...
The great thing about Los Angeles is that you can get so much money in this town by constantly failing. You can get a lot of television deals that don't go anywhere, but you still get paid.
It's a great thing when you can show that you've been successful and that you've made a lot of money and that you've employed a lot of people.
The money is great, no way am I complaining.
Wouldn't it be great if you could only get AIDS by giving money to television preachers?
I've been crazy lucky that I've never had a day job. I get really close to having no money, then I always wind up getting some kind of great job.
