My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.

As barbaric is we are, it's a miracle we haven't blown ourselves off the face of the earth so far.

My grandfather lived to be 96 years old. He was born in a town outside of Salerno in Southern Italy. He came to New York when he was 20. He lived in the States from age 20 to 96, but he brought his culture with him, he brought his food with him, he brought his language with him, he never spoke a word of English.

I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.

No one can stop me from talking about my movie.

A script is not a piece of literature, it's a process.

I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
