There's something very visceral about watching people beg for money. It's powerful.

We can't control whether we are rewarded for our endeavours, with cash or recognition. It is not up to us how much cash or time we get on Earth, but it is down to us how we spend it.

Those of us who have yet to find philanthropy may find there is a far greater reward from it than from wealth creation.

I think that money spoils most things, once it becomes the primary motivating force.

Typically, if you reward something, you get more of it. You punish something, you get less of it. And our businesses have been built for the last 150 years very much on that kind of motivational scheme.

People assume that because you have graced the same stage as the star act, in front of thousands, you must be reaping similar financial rewards. This is a complete fallacy.

It is more rewarding to be complicit with scarcity than excess.

The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story, actors, music, and camera design. When it works it can entertain, move people and teach us all.

In return, society rewards those who give it what it wants. That is why how much money people have earned is a rough measure of how much they gave society what it wanted.

There's nothing so rewarding as to make people realize they are worthwhile in this world.
