Sometimes you have to make a movie to make money.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

When you makes movies, you usually make good money. But it is also a very tough job. Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life. And it is never a job from nine to five.

I make movies for money, exclusively for money.

My movies make a profit, but obviously not a fortune.

You have to be in movies that make money to be offered work. Basically that's the equation. There's no real way around that. That said, you don't ever make decisions solely for that reason.

When you make a movie independently, you raise the money beforehand, and then you make the movie kind of by yourself.

Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?

It's very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.

It seems to be that more and more people are asking you to work for nothing on films, and that's unfortunate because you have to make a living. On the other hand, I don't do a better job because I get paid a lot of money. I'm never like, 'I'm not going to work as hard because I'm not getting paid as much.'
