“If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.”

“What is precious is not the reward but the work. And I wish you to understand that. If you work and study in order to get a reward, the work will seem hard to you; but when you work, if you love the work, you will find your reward in that.”

“I think it's a great honor to win an Oscar but I think if you aim to be rewarded in your life you'll get nowhere. I think that the biggest reward is the work itself and what you get out of it and the connections you make with other people.”

“You don't get heaven or hell. Do you know the only reward you get for being Batman? You get to be Batman.”

“If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level that you say you do, there's no way around doing the work it takes to get you there.”

“When you work to inspire others...Your reward is in helping better themselves, lifting your life in the process.”
