Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
You can take a chance with any man who pays his bills on time.
I’ve fought to close the gender and racial pay gap for a very long time. One piece of advice I like to give whenever I’m speaking on the subject: if you want equal pay, join a union! I’ve never seen a union contract that pays women 79 cents to a man’s dollar.
Every performer has a little gem, a little pearl they have done that nobody pays much attention to. And then one day, somebody does recognize it, which is so gratifying.
Cricket pays well, so a lot of people are naturally drawn towards the game. But to carve a niche in non-cricket sports is not easy. So state governments need to be proactive. Indians need to be made aware of the power of an Olympic medal. It should be treated at par with an Oscars or a Nobel Prize.
I know that some actors take acting terribly seriously. I take it seriously in that if someone pays me to do it I know I have to deliver.
Hard work always pays off, whatever you do.
The ‘Reader’s Digest’ used to run a feature called ‘It Pays to Increase Your Word Power.’ The new wisdom – post-Trump and Brexit – is that it doesn’t.
There has almost never been a period of substantial economic growth in the United States without significant investment. And no investment pays off within the same cycle. No investment pays off within the same year – especially a governmental investment. Even businesses don’t work that way.
No one will lend at a negative interest rate; potential creditors will simply choose to hold cash, which pays zero nominal interest.

Hard work pays off.
I have been blessed to have been working since I was 11. I think horror is an underrated genre. When done really well like in ‘The Ruins’, it pays homage to some of the stuff I really love in the ’70s and incurs some of that energy the fanbase really wants to see.
I focus on supporting high quality early childhood health care and education. By betting my resources on very young children, I know I’m making an investment that pays guaranteed dividends with a high rate of return.

Only two to three per cent of an audience is interested in words and pays attention to lyrics; most of the rest of it is about image or the beat or the sound, or else it’s a tribal thing – country & western, rap, heavy metal, with historical folk rock off in some kind of cult.
I just come every day, do my stuff before the game, work hard. You work hard, and it pays off.
On the beach, we women are at our most exposed and therefore most vulnerable. As any woman deserves to look and feel good, especially when she’s away on holiday, she needs swimwear that pays proper attention to comfort and function. And there should also be some thought put into value.
It pays to know the enemy – not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.
That is someone who follows the teachings of the nonviolent Jesus and takes the gospel personally, and then pays the price. I fall into that category.
A tournament pays me to show up because the fans want to see me and I move the needle at the box office? That’s amazing. It’s good for tennis, good for me and good for the event. If a sponsor wants to pay to put their company name on my shirt because they think I’m a strong ambassador for their brand? Heck yes.
It’s a sad day when a cartoon is doing more and cares more and pays more attention to the environment than our president.
With modeling, I’m thankful to have so many work options. But you do have to be able to say no. In reality, everything would be yes because every gig pays more than any normal job. But you still have to keep your priorities straight in life. And my priorities are my girls.
Every central banker in the world pays attention to credit growth, but not in the U.S.
It’s all run by one person, but, real talk, Brandon McCartney is a book author, the Based God is perfect and Lil B is the trendsetter, the person that everyone follows and pays attention to.

I just kind of went from being a standup, one-man band, to then kind of breezing back and working with other people. And now I’m just trying to be a legitimate guy who pays the rent, you know.

The reason I do this job is because I started to be a painter. Making money in art was difficult. The easiest way to make money was to use art for some other reason. One of the easiest and most interesting from an economic point of view was fashion. Fashion pays.
Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better.
I don’t care if you’re purple. If you’re making a catch or going to go down, you could be silver. I couldn’t care less, if you’re making those plays for the team. If you’re a selfless player, nobody pays attention to that at all. White, black, silver, pink, it doesn’t matter to me.
Some people, through luck and skill, end up with a lot of assets. If you’re good at kicking a ball, writing software, investing in stocks, it pays extremely well.
Obviously crime pays, or there’d be no crime.
Life at a public company ain’t for me. The board pays you what you’re worth, then you get reamed for your compensation.

My mother and father were fantastic, very active. I find it difficult to say this, but I’m quite a loving person and I’ve always been loving to my friends. In the long run, that pays off. I’m very interested in other people, and if you are, they’re interested in you.
Mistakes are a part of the dues one pays for a full life.
In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.

You just pour your heart and soul into a project, and everyone pays their dues, and everyone on the crew, everyone works so hard. Then you just don’t know how the show ends up.

I had 11 years at the club, and even if it was a hard road for me, and I suffered through my time at Arsenal, today I am happy and I tried to show young goalies how work pays off.
I’m not a massive artist by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, I’ve been in papers and magazines, but you never have any idea if anyone actually reads it or pays any attention.
My feeling is that the hero has now been defined by phrases like the odious one that we were all raised with – crimes does not pay. Of course it pays, you schmuck. That’s not why we don’t do it. We don’t do it because it is wrong.
The theater is a kind of international language, and I like it. But I have a practical bent of mind, too. In any other field, I could make only about a tenth as much as I do acting. That’s why I want to be a producer. It pays better, and you have more control.
