It pays to be a fee fiend.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is all of the difference in the world between paying and being paid.
In psychoanalysis, only the fee is exactly what it seems to be.
Earlier, I used to charge territories instead of my fees as an actor, but I realised it was better to keep the two apart. Now, I take my fees in cash, for acting, and keep the distribution thing separate.
Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people.
We will pay any price that we are instructed to. But the money has to come from somewhere.
I believe in pay for performance.
You've got to pay me to leave my house, spend the night in hotels and fly in airplanes. That's what I get paid for. Playing I actually do for free.
You don't have to pay more to have a great form.
I mean, when I started out I was billing per hour, like a shrink because you would sit with somebody and work. But most of it, if it's for a live show it's usually a buy-out. A flat fee.
I feel that if you want to make films, you have to be willing to make it without a fee. You get a deferment, I guess.
