I think any writer is a fool if he doesn't do it for money. there needs to be some kind of incentive in addition to the project. it all goes together. it's fun to sit there and think of characters and get them into action, then be paid for it. i can't believe it when writers tell me 'i don't want to show my work to anybody'.

I Think Any Writer Is A Fool

More From Elmore Leonard

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
Work - get paid; don't work - don't get paid. everybody is on commission, .. try not coming to work for six weeks. work gets paid; don't work, don't get paid. when they earn those dollars, and when you're 4, and you clean up your room, it really means mom cleaned up the room and you did two toys. when you're 14, it means you cleaned up your room. but still, we got the money caused by work, and then, we have teachable moments on how to handle the money they earn.
Mom Mean Two
"don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anybody else." don't believe me, because what i say is only truth for me. don't believe yourself, because most of the time what you tell yourself is only truth for you - especially when you tell yourself that you're not good enough, you're not intelligent enough, you're not beautiful enough - when you reject yourself before anybody else can reject you. and don't believe anybody else, because what they say is only truth for them.
Beautiful Believe Intelligent
It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. but the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
Growing Up Fool Firsts
I am no fun at all. in fact, i am anti-fun. not as in anti-violence, but as in anti-matter. i am not so much against fun - although i suppose i kind of am - as i am the opposite of fun. i suck the fun out of a room. or perhaps i'm just a different kind of fun; the kind that leaves on bereft of hope; the kind of fun that ends in tears.
Fun Opposites Tears
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.
