A lot of people, most people who are working, they do it for money. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that.

If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks. ↗

Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever. ↗
