Do a good job. You don't have to worry about the money it will take care of itself. Just do your best work - then try to trump it.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.

Whatever we accomplish is due to the combined effort.
