Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films.
You definitely want to do the little films. They're always going to be harder, but you don't do them to make money. You do them so you can see what you can make with the research that you have.
I just don't want to do a movie because it paid me a lot of money.
I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.
Movies are an expensive business.
I make movies for money, exclusively for money.
I could not finance a movie on my own. Frankly, I could not even afford to take a year off. I, like most people in America, need to keep making money.
As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.
I've passed on a lot of huge-money jobs. Money doesn't enter into the decision-making. If I do a big blockbuster, it's about how big an audience you'll get and where you can take them.
I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.
