Michael Madsen has mentioned that he does movies mainly to pay the bills ("I've got six kids, I got to keep food in the refrigerator"), and that he can literally go down the list of movies he's been in on IMDB and tell you which ones he did for a paycheck and which ones he did because he actually cared about the role.

And then there's the scene in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are talking about doing the money pictures in-between art pictures to pay the bills.
Yeah. Ewan McGregor started doing big pictures so he could do smaller ones for scale (because there's no way they could afford him otherwise), and Steve Martin has basically just been using his paychecks to fund his art collection for years now.

Someone (Leno? Conan? Letterman?) asked Affleck "Why did you do Paycheck?", and he said "The answer lies in the title, fittingly enough." ^_^
