Charlie Chaplin self-financed “The Great Dictator.” D. W. Griffith poured a lot of his own money into “Intolerance.” Orson Welles, whose “Citizen Kane” is often regarded as the best movie ever made in Hollywood , had to dig into his own pockets and hustle to make “Othello.
Will I make a lot of money? Yeah, I hope so. I hope I’ll make a boatload. But I’m not going to not do what I have a chance to do. I don’t think I would feel very good about myself. Does age have anything to do with that? Not really. There is a shelf life on me playing certain parts, but I think, at the end of the day, I have a relationship with an audience and it is—when they go to see a movie I’m in, I want them at the end to understand, Wow, I think I understood why he made that movie.
