I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I turned down a lot of films.
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.
I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good.
I was slightly disheartened when three of my films didn't work at the box-office. But the silver lining is that people did appreciate my work in those films. Had my performance gone unnoticed, I would've been in big trouble then.
I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
I think early in my career, I didn't choose films that were crappy films, necessarily, but I didn't go out and campaign for smaller, better roles.
My feeling about the movies is that most of them are terrible. If you don't have a decent script and a decent director, forget it.
I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.
I never turned down a movie because they wouldn't give me enough money.
I'll tell you something, and this is true: I've never been able to write a film which I didn't respect. I just can't do it. I'm very happy about all the films I haven't done.
