You don't have to make, you know, $3 Million dollars a movie, or $20 Million dollars a movie, but if you make a living doing what you love doing, then that's success to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes you have to make a movie to make money.
You don't have to raise millions of dollars to be successful, you just have to work on something you are passionate about.
When you makes movies, you usually make good money. But it is also a very tough job. Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life. And it is never a job from nine to five.
I've obviously made a very nice amount of money. I have a very nice lifestyle. I get to do what I love. Very few actors get to do that, and even fewer are lucky enough to work steadily for 24 years.
Making money is marvelous, and I love doing it, and I do it reasonably well, but it doesn't have the gripping vitality that you have when you deal with the happiness of human life and with human deprivation.
There were very, very large sums of money that I made when I was very young - 15 million published works and a great many successful movies don't make nothin'.
That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity; my index of success is happiness.
Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.
Even if I earn millions, I will probably do the average things, like live in a dorm and work at McDonald's.
You end up giving up half your salary every time you make a movie because you need the money to make the movie you have in your head.
