All I ever wanted to do was be able to pay my rent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My only ambition when I came to Hollywood was 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 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.
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.
'Rent' was my first professional job, ever.
The only thing I ever wanted to do is never have to work a day in my life.
I've had to do all kinds of jobs to pay the rent. I've even worked in a Cornish tin mine.
I wanted to have a free life.
I knew I could do anything I wanted to do and go anywhere I wanted to go and not have to worry if I could afford it.
What I wanted to do was to earn enough money to pay for my mother's house. When my mother passed away, I wanted to buy it from the rest of my family and keep the house in the family. That was the only reason I even attempted writing for money.
