If I read the right script, if that script needs $5 million, if that script needs $50 million, I don't care. If I read a project that's beautiful, that I really want to make, whatever it needs, it needs.

I don't write anything off without reading a script, and if it's a good one, I'll consider it, whether it's for $20 or a million dollars.

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.

Well, you can't improvise story, which is a fact. If you could, the budget would be insane.

I don't think you can discriminate against budgets, you know? I'm an actor, I guess, so I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can. If there's a character I think I can play, and they're going to let me do it, I'll do it whether it's $10 or $1 million or more.

It can have an enormous effect because big budget movies can have big budget perks, and small budget movies have no perks, but what is the driving force, of course, is the script, and your part in it.

It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it.

Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

In an ideal world, I'd bounce between big projects and no-budget TV dramas with fantastic scripts.

What's the point of creating a budget if it's not possible to follow through?
