Stravinsky was once offered $4,000 to compose the score for a Hollywood film. When he refused, saying that the sum was too small,the producer argued that another famous composer was paid the same amount for the score of a recent film. "He had talent," replied Stravinsky. "I have not, so for me the work is more difficult."

If he pulled that stunt today, he'd be an unemployed film scorer forever.

Heh, that's great! I love Igor. I've got a brass quintet he did, but I can't seem to find any players good enough at reading contemporary literature to play it with me.
