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

I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.

Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.

I was raised a Catholic and when you're raised a Catholic they don't teach you to think for yourself. You're taught not to think too deeply about things.

I grew up in the Bronx. I'm into rap music.

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

My life is proof that I don't need you to do what I do. If there's no one to see it, I'll watch it.
