在F1这部电影里，Brad Pitt饰演的赛车手主角Sonny Hayes曾经被问过两次关于钱的问题。
第一次是在电影开头的转折点，在一个Cafe，他的老朋友（现车队老板）来拉拢他回去F1帮他的车队开车。两人聊完之后，一开始Sonny是拒绝的。老朋友走了之后，他问给他上菜的女服务员。
Sonny Hayes: a close friend of yours make you a offer that a hundred percent positive too good to be true. What will you do?
The waitress: Well how much are we talking?
Sonny Hayes: not about the money.
The waitress: So what is it about?
Sonny没有回答。然后他就坐飞机前往英国参加比赛了。
第二次是在电影末尾。Sonny帮助车队拿到分站冠军，使整个团队融为一体，原来小年轻车手也成长起来，他功成身退，前往沙漠参加巴哈1000越野赛。在沙漠里，他跟招聘赛车手的人又一次对话。
Old guy: have you ever driven in Baja?
Sonny Hayes: Nope.
Young guy: We can't pay much.
Sonny Hayes: not about the money.
Sonny没有正面回答到底是关于什么。但是他对赛车的热情，在围场中贴地飞行的追求，已超出他对生命的热爱。
Steve Jobs在1985年被踢出自己创办的Apple公司之后，在一次Newsweek的采访中谈到当时的心情。
Newsweek: How did you react when you heard the [Apple] board’s decision [to sue you]? These were people that you knew and worked with for a long time.
Steve Jobs: …（省略）… I personally, man, I want to build things. I’m thirty. I’m not ready to be an industry pundit. I got three offers to be a professor during this summer, and I told all of the universities that I thought I would be an awful professor. What I’m best at doing is finding a group of talented people and making things with them. I respect the direction that Apple is going in. But for me personally, you know, I want to make things. And if there’s no place for me to make things there, then I’ll do what I did twice before. I’ll make my own place. You know, I did it in the garage when Apple started, and I did it in the metaphorical garage when Mac started.
Steve对"Build Things"的痴迷也是一样的。虽然苹果是一家商业特别成功的公司，虽然F1这项运动无处不要花钱，但是我挺羡慕影片中的角色，以及Steve Jobs，他们对某种热爱的痴迷。
我想正是因为我们的生活中有太多太多的事情，无一不是about the money。所以当Brad Pitt开着他那辆乱糟糟的破破烂烂的Van，潇洒地说出那句:"Not about the moeny."时，才会为之触动。
生活已经有太多的不得已，希望有一天我也能像他一样潇洒地说出来:
Not About the Money.
