Thinking about this on the way home from work yesterday. What would I do with maybe a hundred grand salary for playing Lando in the Han Solo movie.
What would I do with real money and not the tiny pittance I get as a mail man that I am now...
Yunno, I don't have a damn clue. I'll be honest.
It's like, I look at celebrities who started out just like me then suddenly got famous and became rich and what they do and the lives they live and how much they seem to be enjoying their money it's amazing. I mean first example is Jason David Frank. He's rich, never tells anyone how rich he is, but NO the dude has money and I don't think he even has a regular job, just hangs out raising his daughter and being rich as fuck.
I suppose that'd be me too. If I had money money money money and didn't have to struggle I'd feel no fear in starting a family.
But I'm also an artist. I have these dreams and concepts and inventions that I do indeed want to get made and put together. If I had it my way I'd get into the film making business since I can actually sit for hours coming up with art and sketches and making my dreams a reality. It's like, how I think good film makers work. I can't say I'm a fan of the way hollywood has become such a machine grinding out the next big stupid money maker year after year. I mean it's business, yes, but it's also artless and means nothing.
Art has a purpose. It enriches us, makes us think, wonder, ask questions. We NEED art. Can't just be making these cash grab movies.
So yeah I'd of course start a savings account and not touch that money and just let it grow through interest. But I'd also maybe try to get my start in film making and becoming a director with the money I get. It'd be a tough journey but I know I got skills in that department... just need to actually go forward and soldier through with it in the end...
But yeah I mean, the thing I'd do with real substantial amount of money is start investing wisely with it and try to make it grow larger. I mean that's the name of the game with stocks. Find the right company and if they do great, you get paid.
I don't know. Never had real money but I hoped to one day, always hoped to... looks like I have a chance to get there. I mean I don't think they should dare make that movie without me on board, I seriously don't... I AM Lando, I was born for it, there's no question in my mind... I want to get on set and start filming this shit right the FUCK now, and stop waiting for it....
