I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.

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

In troubled times the last thing you want to do is to stick your money into a film. It's such a gamble.

I don't want to get on the treadmill of earning more money. I'd rather live cheaply and allow myself more freedom. I can honestly say I've never taken a film just for the dough, although I've made some ghastly mistakes.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

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'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.

If the money's right, I'll do a film.

I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.

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.
