I have never been motivated by money in my life. You can’t make choices based on what the financial return might be. Stephen Daldry Read Quote
If I wanted to work financially, I would have made a series of different choices. I do get offered lots of movies which you could make a lot of money out of.

The truth of the matter is, every film is imperfect. It’s the nature of the beast. One of the things that people ask me all the time is, what’s the difference between theater and film, and one of the biggest differences is, in the theater you always get another go. Stephen Daldry Read Quote
