I've learned from doing my own show with Fox that people are not your partners if they're signing the checks. Whoever signs your paycheck is the boss - no matter what they tell you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't sign every check anymore, but I have my checks, my balances. I like the people I work with very much, but I check on them.
I'm not the hands-on guy. I like writing the check, and I turn it over to the guys that make it happen, much like the way I ran my business.
The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.
The individual who signs the check has the ultimate power.
You know, last season I didn't do anything on the show, so I was frustrated. I mean, don't get me wrong: It's nice to get a paycheck. But if you don't really do anything it's not very satisfying.
I told them I wouldn't sign a blank cheque.
When you're rich you don't write checks.
I never believe anything in the world of entertainment until it actually happens and the check clears the bank.
A pile of bills and statements - whether paid or not - is a sign that someone is clueless about what's coming in and going out.
No matter who is watching or paying the paycheck, we are ultimately each our own boss.
