On a similar note, I recall seeing an interview with Eddy Irvine (Irish F1
pilot) on some British breakfast TV show. The presenter kept prodding him
about his salary (he was Ferrari's second driver behind Michael Schumacher at
the time). Eddy consistently refused to name an amount.
So, finally, the presenter started grabbing numbers out of thin air: "a
million a year? Five million?" To which Eddy replied, "fuck, I ain't gettin'
outta bed for that kinda money!"
The look on the presenter's face was literally priceless.
