I'd much rather do an obviously commercial writing project than get a day job.

I don't feel I'm making a conscious effort to go more commercial.

Personally, I'm not interested in getting more money for what I do; I'm just interested in more money being put into the production.

Oh, well, I'd like to have commercial success. I guess.

And, we put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.

I am not a commercial industry creator. I don't believe in making art to make money.

I never intended to become a commercial filmmaker in the first place. What I do requires time and experimentation. Commercial work is often not the best way to get the most innovative work, because it's about money and marketing. Although advertising is now embracing non-commercial people.

I am essentially a hack, a commercial person. If I had a hobby, I would immediately make money on it or abandon it.

But I did make some money doing commercials. I did fourteen in one year.

If you want to capitulate to what commercial needs are, you can always be commercially valuable, but I'm not interested in being that.
