I think I am incredibly generous with how much I give to my projects, but that's my generosity with the job.

In an ideal world, nobody's work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others.

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

If you are given a lot of money without having to work for it, you won't appreciate it as much as if you made it yourself.

I do pick my projects very meticulously. I want my projects to be meaningful.

It's nice to be asked to do good projects.

One of the downsides of money is if there's no money, there are very few real jerks who are attached to your project. And if there is money, you do attract some very difficult, unhelpful people.

Your personal capacity to handle more valuable projects will go up when you appreciate yourself more.

People value and spend their money more wisely when they acquire it by their own efforts - also known as work.

Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life.
