Mulberry Street was the beating heart of the Italian-American experience, but you don't find those gangsters now. I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.

I don't have a problem with Werner Herzog.

There's a difference between the world ending tomorrow and just drinking and drugging yourself to death.

The world is constantly changing. You're constantly learning and you have to be willing to get off your mark, and get off your spot and take that knowledge you have not to fix yourself into a place but to keep going.

The actors that I love to work with, they're hard on me. They're pushing me.

I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.

I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.
