When you're making an independent film, it's like this actor plus this actor equals this funding, this financing. Pull this actor out, this actor is still here but this money's gone. It's this frightening puzzle mosaic that is the world of independent film.

Jill Soloway

There was a golden era in film-making in Hollywood back in the 1970s, and although there is some great independent film-making in America, it's actually very hard to get independent films made in the United States. It's much more feasible from Europe.

Lenny Abrahamson

I think I'm wealthy. I make a good living for what I do. Well, it depends. If I'm doing an independent film I'm making no money - probably losing money. But if I'm doing a studio film, I'll make a decent wage. I can live for a year without working.

Eric Stoltz

When you're making an independent film what you don't have in time and money you have to make up with creativity and diligence.

Matthew Lillard

They're still considered Olympic eligibles, so there's never an issue whether they're going to turn pro or not. When they get to that level, money is never an issue. They make so much money now.

Dorothy Hamill

When you are making a film, you do not know how it is going to be received by the audience. In fact, if you set out to make a film thinking that it will make 100 crores, it never ends up making that much money.

Aparshakti Khurana

There's plenty of great independent films to do, but you can't support yourself making independent film as an actress.

Gaby Hoffmann

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.

Gaby Hoffmann

My last experience of film-making was Tickets, a three-episode film in Italy, the third of which is directed by myself. It's not for me to judge whether it's a good film or a bad film, but what I could say is that nobody had a cultural or linguistic issue with what was produced.

Abbas Kiarostami

I visualise what I want through meditation. The process of meditating is a great way of making sure I have my priorities sorted. It's not about money - I focus on my career and the kind of film projects I want to do. Film-making is a passion for me, and my mantra is that you should do what you love, and the money will follow.

Shilpa Shetty

To be honest, you have to do a big Hollywood film to get enough money to do a good independent film!

Sean Bean

As an independent filmmaker, the biggest challenge is finding the money. Whenever you have interest in a film project you need to find investors who are real. I think most independent filmmakers would echo that sentiment.

Harrison Smith

I never want to make a film. I don't wake up in the morning going, 'Ooh, I'd really love to be on set making a film today'. I'm aware that other contemporary film directors perceive film-making as what they do, as what they have to do. But I would hope that I am more catholic in my tastes.

Stephen Daldry

Whether youre making a million dollar film or a $100 million film there is never enough money, theres never enough time.

Vera Farmiga

Whether you're making a million dollar film or a $100 million film there is never enough money, there's never enough time.

Vera Farmiga

I never made this film with the motive of making money. I wanted to make a different film, which would strike a chord with the audience. I'm extremely happy that 'Mithunam' succeeded in what it wanted to achieve.
