Legendary duo Ismail Merchant and James Ivory on budget films, actors and producers

Ismail Merchant says "Well because first of all, we do not inflate our own salaries we get the actors to sort of participate in the project. They all like to benefit once the film is successful. They all have percentages in it and they all have reap benefits. It's much better that way because you know on the kind of films we do they have a special appeal and market. So you want to keep it as small as possible so that the investor's or distributors or whoever is involved with you don't take a bigger risk as such." James Ivory says "Sometimes you don't get them either as they have some diabolical agents who is whispering in their ear all the time telling them they shouldn't take a part unless they are paid an enormous amount of money and some listen to those agents and don't take up the role. Oh, lots of people. I would like to work with Robert DeNiro I think would probably get to work hopefully this film about Picasso."
