In his close conversation with Nick he said he had been in LA since he was 18 years old and money talks, “you don’t realize how much of consumer culture impacts you when you live in LA, like people really value in LA based on how much money you have. It’s a cliche but its really true, like the way everyone looks at you, talks to you.”
He also told Nick he would be treated differently if he flashed this money around, “If everyone in this room found out that I had just sold my publishing catalogue for 30 million dollars, I would be treated differently.” Nick being a humble man said he would treat everyone the same.
