Nothing wrong with that, we all have our limits. Personally I've turned down a very high paying job because the stress and time away from my family just weren't worth it. What's the use in being well off monetarily if your miserable all the time and can't even enjoy the fruits of your labor?
Cool video though. S and F

Do you think he blew it a little bit?
A little bit? First of all, to be black, you a lightning rod in that respect already. And to be black and get the opportunity and then throw it away? I don’t know too many guys that did that and still had a career. You can’t name a guy in the history of the show business who thumbed his nose at the industry and still was supported by the industry. But whatever his reasons, Dave’s happy.
RICK JAMES: Charlie! There's a new joke goin' around - have you heard it? What did the five fingers say to the face?

RICK JAMES: SLAP!
