If you've got a huge Hollywood star in your film, they're getting $32 million, and everyone else gets their bus fare.

Nowadays the big Hollywood studios only make about three movies a year, and they cost about $200 million each. There's no room for error in that, and not a lot of room, I would think, for free expression.

Once you've been doing anything for twenty-five years people start to notice you.

I just get the same stuff as I did before, but the price tag is much higher.
