(1996, on
Marisa Tomei turning down her role in
Quatro Casamentos e um Funeral (1994)) They saw a lot of other people for the role. I was quite impressed that I was the one who was, in fact, doing the movie. Not only did
Marisa Tomei lose out as an artist for not taking the opportunity to work with wonderful people on this amazing movie, she lost a lot of money. And the money just keeps coming. See, I didn't get money for it up front, but I had points. I had a huge mortgage and I didn't plan the last baby, but
Quatro Casamentos e um Funeral (1994) paid for me to sit back and take a year off, pay my mortgage, have plenty of money and even invest some, too.
