I would love it if my films made a lot of money, and may I say that 'The Yards' is the only one that's lost money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We've turned down multi million dollar films, simply because we liked the film better. We have the luxury to do so - we have projects that make the money, and others that we do for love.
Other writers, producers, and directors of low-budget films would often put down the film they were making, saying it was just something to make money with. I never felt that. If I took the assignment, I'd give it my best shot.
My taste in films doesn't lead financers to think they are going to make a zillion dollars.
I think, unfortunately or fortunately, the reality of Hollywood is that if your movie makes money, they'll make another one.
I've got to love the film, not the money. Because I know what it's like not to have money - you still survive.
The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.
I think, on a larger note, that filmmakers and studios should start to tuck it in a little bit, because films wouldn't have the pressure they have if the word wasn't out about how expensive they were.
My movies make a profit, but obviously not a fortune.
Nobody loses money on my movies. I make them cheap.
I've never made a film that lost money.
