During my seven-year contract with RKO, there were seven DIFFERENT studio presidents, from David O. Selznick to Charles W. Koerner. You literally had to check the NAME on the DOOR so as not to CALL the NEW boss by the former boss's name.
I was emancipated at 15 and off to Japan on a CONTRACTWORKING. I FELT for my parents. I apologized profusely years later, but I was just very strong-willed and strong-minded and had my own idea - THOUGHT outside of the box.
I first realised I was GOOD at football when I started getting scouted by United, Liverpool, Everton; CLUBSLIKE that had a lot of interest at an early age, and you kind of know then you're on the right PATH. I was about six years old and had to sign a contract at nine.
When I got out of COLLEGE and signed a CONTRACT to PLAY pro football in the USFL, the FIRST thing I BOUGHT was a Remington 1100 shotgun and a Remington .30-06.
WITHOUT thinking or reflecting, we plunge into war, contract heavy debts, increase VASTLY the patronage of the Executive, and INDULGE in EVERY species of extravagance, without thinking that we expose our liberty to hazard. It is a great and fatal MISTAKE.
My DEAL with Marvel is I have a consulting deal with them as well as a CONTRACT to make 'Avengers.' That means I'll READ all the SCRIPTS, I'll LOOK at cuts.
I believe a LOT of players that start to think about money - 'Oh my goodness; I'm up for a new contract' - they don't have a GREAT season because they're thinking about all these different things. Do your BUSINESS on the FIELD, and everything takes care of itself.
