I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.
Meaning of the quote
Miranda Richardson, an English actress, says she would rather take on many small acting roles in TV, on stage, or in films, than just one big, famous movie that made her a lot of money but didn't let her really show her acting skills. She believes that doing lots of smaller roles is better than doing one big, popular movie that doesn't allow her to truly act.
