Sometimes we have to take on jobs that we don't love, and I always encourage any creative person to use those as the fuel to do the things that you do love to do, even if they don't pay.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even those among us who are lucky enough to love our jobs would have to admit that at least part of the reason we work is to earn money. In between all this work, we like to eat out at restaurants, go on trips, buy nice things, not to mention pay rent and meet the cost of living.
I love what I do, and I'm not doing anything either for money or for the sake of some unfulfilled ambition.
I love making money, but you can't live your life waiting to get rich in a job that no longer feeds you artistically.
I believe sometimes we aren't always in charge of everything that we do creatively. We submit to things as we're going on our own journey.
I know it's cliche to say, 'When you do something you love you never work a day in your life.' But it is true: When you do something you love, life gets to be a little bit easier and enjoyable. So I just want people to follow their dreams.
If you love something - and there are things that I love - you do want more and more and more of it, but that's not the way to produce good work.
It's what is strange about doing a job that is also the thing you love, the thing you feel passionate about. People get to the point where they're burned out and disillusioned by the whole thing because when things aren't going well at work it also means they aren't going well in your heart, in your soul. They're all wrapped up together.
When you love something, it doesn't feel like work.
When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.
I'm very supportive of creative people being paid for the work that they do.
