Paying attention and awareness are universal capacities of human beings.
If money can’t be made reporting and writing articles, then professionals simply can’t do it anymore. Unless we adopt the position that the amateur blogosphere is really capable of taking on the role that the ‘New York Times’ and CNN play, then we do need solutions for paying for content.

I fail to understand how you can justify a poll tax on the entire population, yet exclude a significant proportion of that population from programmes that this tax is paying for.
So my thing is we want come in and diffuse anything that’s not real, anything that doesn’t associate with real hip-hop.

It’s really a question of fairness and what kind of country we’re going to live in. There are 22,000 people making over $1 million. They’re paying an effective tax rate in the teens. As Warren Buffett said, he pays less in taxes effectively than his secretary does. That’s not right.

People who have been hardworking, tax paying, those people ought to be given an opportunity to be on a track that leads towards citizenship, and if that happened, then they wouldn’t be prey to the employers who say, ‘We want you because we know that you work for a salary we could not lawfully pay anyone else.’

I wouldn’t inflict my naked body on any paying audience.

The only airline I avoid like the plague is Ryanair. I don’t like that, when you book, there are then all of these little extras to pay for, and you end up paying more than just flying with British Airways.
The federal government should only be providing services for emergencies. You and I, taxpayers, shouldn’t be paying for cell phones so someone can have a social life. I just don’t think it’s appropriate.

If you’re not paying for it through the health plan, you pay for it in the emergency room.
When we were making ‘Arrested Development,’ it was the hardest thing I’d ever done. You know, nobody was watching. We weren’t getting feedback. The job wasn’t paying very well. But the one thing I did feel confident about was: No one will ever be able to do this again. Because no one would be stupid enough to try.
The royalty any author gets is dependent on his track record and marketability and often on the price of his book, too. The higher you price a book, the more comfortable your publisher will be in paying you a higher royalty.
I believe that everyone should be treated as an individual. Women should be treated equally in the right to vote, sure. But if I’m paying to see a comedy, then I just want to see who’s funniest, with everyone treated equally.
My public is growing up just as I am. After all, I’m not 19 anymore and if I stick with the sex bit, who will be paying to see me when I’m 50?
