Golden Globe winner Patricia Arquette has come clean about her salary for Richard Linklater's labour of love movie, Boyhood, revealing she paid her babysitter and dog walker more than she received over the 12 years of the film's life.
The actress insists she knew the film wouldn't make her a millionaire, but it was a pleasure to be part of such an important project, which is now the clear favourite to win the Best Picture Oscar after landing the top film Golden Globe.
It also saw Arquette pick up the prize fro Best Supporting Actress.
"It's important to me as an actor to be able to make a living (but) I'm going to tell you something - I paid more money to my babysitter and my dog walker than I made on Boyhood, and to be in Boyhood," Arquette said.
"Television actually allows you to make a living, feed your children, send them to college. And to have the luxury to make the choices of doing what it is you think that matters."
