I want to do exactly what I want to do. I'd rather gamble on the box office than beg for a grant.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do want to be able to benefit from my work and make a good living, but I love it so much that I would do it for free.
I've been a grant seeker all my life, but when I apply for one and get it, that means someone else doesn't. I didn't want to be a part of that anymore. I wanted to contribute to that pool and make it bigger.
If you can figure out how to get paid to do something you love, that's the dream.
No salesman can ever guarantee you a grant from any government or non-profit organization.
I'm lucky to have the privilege of being able to choose what I want to do.
I do want to get rich but I never want to do what there is to do to get rich.
I've never had a career of that kind of box office power. I've always learned the hard way.
I won't do things for money. I can't.
If I had money, I would like to get an old building, have music performances, do lithographs, have shows of paintings, and do those things that I'm interested in doing.
What I want is the same opportunities as anyone to get a part.
