The biggest challenge is how you get money for independent films, in these ever-changing times when most people don't really want to invest in that anymore.

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.
