There are lots of things I could have done for the money, but I've made a great living doing the things I want to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm potentially worth a lot of money, but I've got to go and make something that's worth a lot of money.
Making money is marvelous, and I love doing it, and I do it reasonably well, but it doesn't have the gripping vitality that you have when you deal with the happiness of human life and with human deprivation.
So I felt, well, I'll make the money and, with the money, do what I want to do.
I've turned down lots and lots of work. Things that could have made me some money.
Making money is a hobby that will complement any other hobbies you have, beautifully.
I've made a profit from everything I have done in life.
I make a good living doing what I do.
I know exactly what my values are and what I love to do. That's worth additional years right there. I say no to a lot of stuff that would be easy money but deviates from my meaning of life.
I did all kinds of things in order to earn a living.
I love what I do, and I'm not doing anything either for money or for the sake of some unfulfilled ambition.
