Course, I never get a dime for my film. They make deals with you and they buy you and they sell you and when it comes to: oh you're going to get some money out of the situation? Forget it. Because they always have two books. One for you, one for them, you know? And this has been my experience with that world. Beautiful world, beautiful world, don't misunderstand me. But when it comes to the money, it's a question of which book is yours and which is theirs. Because in yours you're always losing money on a deal, you know? That's Paris, you know?
