‘New’ movies are almost always hipper, faster, they mix genres aggressively, they smother their genre origins in new form, there are fewer of them, and they tend to cost a lot more money because you usually make more money on the megahit than you do on the steady progression of break-eveners. Except for the horror movie. – Stephen Hunter
‘The Simpsons’ money got bigger and bigger. When I left ‘The Simpsons’, no one thought that this thing was going to still be around. It’s the cumulative effect. It’s like, ‘Oh my God, 25 years later, and it’s still coming in.’ – Sam Simon
I never prayed for no money, and I never prayed for no fame. I said, ‘I’ll take care of that myself. You just keep me healthy and I’ll do all I can to try to turn people around, to try to steer ’em in the right direction.’ That’s the whole trip in life, ya know. – Wolfman Jack

The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don’t invest, their holding too much money.
