How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst

I got in the habit of accepting whatever came my way. Not things that I disagreed with, though. It's not like I had aspirations, well, I did have aspirations to play Hamlet, which I ended up doing. ~James Cromwell

#quotes #alberto-moravia #loyalty #love #self

Sometimes the personality or just the particular process of a director can really affect your quality of life as a composer in terms of how much time you spend away from your family or the amount of time you spend doing the type of work that you maybe don't consider as fun to do as other type of work. ~Christophe Beck
