I look like an accountant. And no offense to accountants! There's some really cool accountants out there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most accountants are strange - let's be honest.
I've always hated the way Hollywood has portrayed accountants. They're always little nerd balls, wimpy, afraid of everything. Growing up with accountants, I don't see them that way.
Did you ever hear of a kid playing accountant - even if they wanted to be one?
People always ask me, 'Were you funny as a child?' Well, no, I was an accountant.
My accountant worships me because I'm so cautious with my money.
Never call an accountant a credit to his profession; a good accountant is a debit to his profession.
I will never begin to know what the accountants do or what the camera guys do, as much as I try to learn just out of respect for what they do and to try to make my job as manager more efficient. The most important thing is to let those people do their jobs while making it clear what the parameters are.
People recognize me once in a while and appreciate the work. It gets a little embarrassing, but it's good. If you work as an accountant, you don't have people coming up to you in the streets saying, 'Hey, great job on tax statements!'
I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer.
I probably wouldn't make a good accountant. I don't even understand what my accountant tells me. But the character is a sort of exaggerated version of me, he's a little more frightened than I am, everything seems so much bigger to him than it does to me.
