It's difficult when you have to turn down a tremendous amount of money because you don't like what the script is saying and you don't have any money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't do things for money. You just can't act them. There's gotta be something about the script that you really want to do. I wouldn't do a job if I didn't think I could do the best work I possibly could.
I don't work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.
When you have a good script you're almost in more trouble than when you have a terrible script.
Often jobs are un-turndownable even before you read the script. You go, 'Well, I have to do that.'
I never turned down a movie because they wouldn't give me enough money.
I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.
I very rarely read a script that I don't feel I want to change a lot.
Finally, when the money was high enough, the script suddenly revealed itself as being very clear to me.
It's hard to have money in the bank and want something and then not get it.
You can have a million dollar, 20 million dollar budget or 60 million dollar budget, and if you don't have a good script, it doesn't mean a thing.
