When it comes to salary negotiation, don’t forget that salary is only one term of employment. What else is on the table – vacation time, benefits, bonuses, flex days?

I don’t mind saying, you know, that I don’t take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books.

On ‘Mystic River,’ I had to cut my salary and everyone else’s to get it made.
I can’t suddenly say that because I am acting opposite Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, and Varun Dhawan… I should get the same salary as theirs. Because I won’t get the audience to the theatres as much as they will.
