They pay me way too much money but not enough as far as I'm concerned.

I washed dishes so I could make movies. it was never a way for me to make money.

I owe much to Sangeeth. His film 'Apna Sapna Money Money' brought me back in a big way.

Modeling wasn't the thing that was going to define me in any way; it was just a way to make a lot of money.

Working at a startup to make a lot of money was never a thing, and that's why I decided to just finish up school. That was way more important for me.

For me, it's an easy way to make money. I'm just hitting a ball over a net. Of course, I've grown up with it. It's a part of me. It's all I really know how to do.

If someone wants to offer me some money to talk about something that I feel strongly about on Twitter - and I don't feel it's diminishing in any way my messages - I don't see why not.

I was always told that I'd have to do a movie with a white guy in order to get the money. That's the way it was. That made me feel that I should have chosen some other profession, so I could have gotten my just deserts.

The thing that fascinates me is that the way I came to film and television is extinct. Then there were gatekeepers, it was prohibitively expensive to make a film, to be a director you had to be an entrepreneur to raise money.

Advances don't fundamentally interest me. It sounds terribly naive, but money doesn't really mean anything to me. If a lot of money came my way, I'm certainly not going to say no. But it hasn't come my way as yet, and I'm not heartbroken.

I spend a lot of money on the little things that make me happy, like 3 falafels from M&S to eat on the train on the way up to Edinburgh, but I do keep a close eye on the bigger picture. I don't flash the cash ridiculously on expensive things.

I want everything that I've worked for to go into my pocket. I want all my money to come to me. I'm very much hands-on with my career, and I like to do what I want in the studio - I don't like being told, 'do it this way' or 'do it that way.'

'Dawson's Creek' was my introduction to the industry. It put some money in my pocket and it put me in the position I wanted to be in, where I could audition for projects that I wanted to be a part of. I didn't find it creatively fulfilling in any way though.

For me, wearing a tie is a pleasure, a recherche one but a pleasure nonetheless. You could say that I'm avoiding tie avoidance. My own gorgeous collection runs into hundreds and I buy them the way I buy books - I simply can't pass a shop. I have loved them since I could spend my own money on them.
