I refuse to work unless I get paid, so I don't get a lot of work sometimes.
The thing is, I hate the celebrity architect thing. I just do my work.

Some cultures tried to stop people from expressing themselves. In Mao's China, for example, the Communists tried to stop individual expression. For them the payoff was a society of equality. The problem of course is that it didn't work.
