If the money's right, I'll do a film.

I spent money, and I kept thinking, 'I get one more movie and I'll wipe these bills out,' but that movie never came. That black pride, I said, 'Man, I'm going to hang in there, I'm going to pay these bills.' So you owe a million dollars. 'I can pay that.' OK, fines, fees, now you owe two and a half million. 'But I didn't do nothin'!'

I'm going to end up making twenty films if people let me.

The only pitch I have to movie people is the same as this one: Just give me $8 million. I'm not telling you what it's about and I'm not telling you who's in it.

I've got to love the film, not the money. Because I know what it's like not to have money - you still survive.

If someone offered me a hundred million dollars to make a movie? I would first remind him that there are 850 million people in the world who don't have enough to eat.

What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.

I never turned down a movie because they wouldn't give me enough money.
