One thing I've learned about death threats is that they're great, actually.

I tell everybody on the first day of making a movie that if anyone's here to further their career, they should leave. I'm gonna make the movie in such a way that we won't have a career when this movie comes out. Because the people who hold the moneybags are not going to want to share any of that money with us to make the next movie!
Those checks will increase every year, and we're not limited to 25 years, ... Those payments will last forever, and ever, and ever.
