I've got to love the film, not the money. Because I know what it's like not to have money - you still survive.

I never did films for the money or because I needed to buy a house or car. I do it because I love my job.

My choice of films has never been governed by money. That is perhaps why I don't have a very fancy bank account. I'd rather get respect and creative satisfaction through my work than just earn money.

I make movies for money, exclusively for money.

I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.

What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.

I'll never do a film because it's a massive budget and I'm gonna get lots of publicity for it and it will bring something else.

I just can't get excited about money as a motivation in a film. It leaves me cold.

You can spend an extraordinary amount of time raising independent money to do a movie for very little means. I've done it with 'Pawn Sacrifice.'
