If you don't have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble.

You have to do whatever jobs you can to pay the rent.

Up until the time I was 31 years old, in Spain, I still didn't know how I was going to pay the rent.

My total year's income from working as hard as I possibly could from writing went from like $30 one year to about $70 the next year. And it made me realize that maybe you couldn't really pay the rent that way.

When I was growing up, I was really into 'Rent' and I actually slept on the street in New York all night to get to sit in the first few rows for it.

I want 'Rent' to last forever.

I've had to do all kinds of jobs to pay the rent. I've even worked in a Cornish tin mine.

Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success.

I can pay my rent now. I guess I could always do that, but now I can get an apartment with heat.

I had casually rented an apartment that cost $75 a month because I expected my writing to pay my way.
