I've had to do all kinds of jobs to pay the rent. I've even worked in a Cornish tin mine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have to do whatever jobs you can to pay the rent.
'Rent' was my first professional job, ever.
All I ever wanted to do was be able to pay my 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.
My biggest break wasn't 'Rent;' it was the first job that ever paid me. I couldn't believe that they were paying me all that money to go around the country and do Shakespeare. I would have done it for free.
There will always be ways to pay my rent, whether I wind up having to be a waitress on the side or whatever it is, but I think it's so important for me to do things that I'm passionate about.
I'm proud I've been able to pay my rent doing what I love because I hate real jobs.
It always seems to me that my life would look completely different if I didn't have to take care of the rent.
For a year after I left Cambridge, I had an agent, and I was working in a pub and doing waitering. But I could stay at home rent-free.
