"it has nothing to do with pay. either you love when you're doing or... look, i wrote for years and i wasn't paid. my love carried me through all those years. i sold newspapers on the street corner. when i was twenty-two, i was making ten dollars a week. when i started making twenty dollars a week from selling stories, i quit selling newspapers. you're either in love with what you do, or you're not in love"
