Making money is not gonna change anything about what I am, except I won't answer the door.

I'm in a house where if the washing machine shuts off, it sings a song. If iPad gets a message, it sings a song. I'm living in a real postmodern time - every single thing sings to you to tell you it's started, it's stopped, you've got a message, you didn't get a message.

My job is going to be to direct the film - I'm going to do it. And that's where my job ends.

I don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.

Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.

With 'New Rose Hotel,' I knew that I was getting paid a $100,000 fee to write, produce, and direct, and that's all I was going to get.

I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
