I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

I know a lot of celebrities who are perfectly happy to put their name to something and then leave it at that because the money is good but I need to have complete control over how something is going to look if my name is going to be attached to it.

My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.

Young film makers should learn how to deal with the money and learn how to deal with the power structure. Because it is like a battle.

I think there's only one or two films where I've had all the financial support I needed. All the rest I wish I'd had the money to shoot another ten days.

France is the country where the money falls apart and you can't tear the toilet paper.

I became alienated from this religious upbringing and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.

While money doesn't buy love it puts you in a great bargaining position.

As kids we didn't complain about being poor we talked about how rich we were going to be and made moves to get the lifestyle we aspired to by any means we could. And as soon as we had a little money we were eager to show it.

You have to spend a lot to make a lot. It's not like I'm sitting on top of a pile of money.
