When some films do not pay as well and you have a mortgage to pay and you are on an economy drive eating eggs and beans, and you are offered a million dollar role and you turn it down, as it is not right. I want to be doing this when I am 60 and getting the big paying roles then so I have to pick the parts that are right for the long term rather than take the money now.

Well, I have a great deal of pride, and I care infinitely about what my peers think [about me]. It could be my downfall, but I don`t think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it`s suicide. I have 60 years to make the money, but the choices I make in the next five years are really going to define my career.
