Default The Final Answer To All The Questions About Payment
This argument/topic comes up time and time again and always sparks debate, as some of you know Lucille and I are quite opinionated on the matter.

So, to give the definitive answer on whether or not you should be charging for your skills as a performer...here's Harlan Ellison.

During his wonderful rant please substitute the word "writer" for "performer".

YouTube - Harlan Ellison -- Pay the Writer

2 quotes from this clip that will stay with me forever.

"Everybody else may be an asshole but I'm not."

"I don't take a piss without getting paid for it."

Classic.
