You and you alone are responsible for your money. You can't just assume someone is managing it for you.

He was probably pitching to movie execs sequels that made no sense:

Any Given Sunday 2
Heat 2
Godfather 4

She said that celebrities are often extremely disengaged from their day to day finances - basically they have no clue how much is going in vs. how much is going out and where.

Another comment she made is that most of them aren’t necessarily dumb, but totally overtaxed from being surrounded by leeches who siphon resources and keep them loaded on substances



Movie stars never pick up the check. They have no idea what things cost. Most of them don't know their zip code and a lot don't even know their own phone number.

Sounds more like embezzling than bad accounting.

First there is this: props to Adam Sandler. He helped Pacino with that dud of a film just to get him paid. I frickin love Sandler.

Second is this: no matter great or small, world famous or a nobody— this world will humble you. Props to Pacino for swallowing pride and getting back to work.

Third: you can’t trust anyone else to take care of your money better than you will. I’ll never be convinced otherwise.

Sandler is known as a great guy and tends to pick his work based off things like choosing films where he gets to work with his friends and throw them a bone (Rob Schneider, etc).

He is also self deprecating in public. One of the better bits I remember in the past few years was as a graduation speaker. He told parents to get used to supporting their kids because it sucks out there right now. “Even my kids have trouble getting work and they know Adam fricking Sandler!”
