It's the people who work hard and earn big that keep the machine tipping for everybody else. If everybody else was equal down the bottom rung of a ladder, nobody would be on the ladder at all because it would break and everybody would fall off backwards.

I'm always amazed when actors bash films as if those grips and that cinematographer didn't work hard enough.
You know, it sounds corny, but I believe in myself. And I work hard.
