Film is different for me now. If the money is good and it's not totally revolting, I'll do it.

You have to struggle a bit, hustle a little, and be willing to go bankrupt. Once you're willing to do that, everything opens up and you get the freedom. My joke is that next year, I'll make the first film that costs zero dollars.

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

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

Being on a movie set is like one long financial crisis.

It's not a great feeling for a film to suffer financially, but you can't sit and mope about it. You just have to just move on to next project - I try to always be working on a new project when my last one hits the theaters.

The movie business is a big gamble.

I just can't get excited about money as a motivation in a film. It leaves me cold.

There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.

If I could find the right kind of property, get tied in with the right movie, I'd love to be involved, but I just find it hard to be motivated to do another screenplay right now.
