Pitt doesn't care about money through films

London: Hollywood star Brad Pitt tries not to make movie decisions based on money because he has made bad choices in the past.

The 47-year-old actor, who raises six children with partner Angelina Jolie, says financial success is no longer important to him because it doesn't necessarily mean he produces good work, reported Empire magazine.

"I like films that make money. But I've been less concerned with that of late. I've found with one period where I was thinking that way, I made bad choices," he said.

Pitt can next be seen in baseball movie 'Moneyball' and while he says he likes the fact that using his name can get the projects he likes onto the big screen.

"I grant you that does sound pretty counterintuitive. Funnily enough, Billy Beane (his character) gives seminars on that very thing. That's how they first came into contact with the book, the studios were having seminars with Billy on how to apply his theories to the film business.

"That I ended up in the film is counterintuitive to the teachings but I wanted to see it get made. That's all I want; to see movies get made that I believe should be made. And if my name - whatever it may or may not be worth - can help in that process, then that's why I'm going to do,' he said.
