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

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

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

That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.

The more you get into any religion, it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people, and how you get out of this 'I, me, mine' type of thing.

I don't want to live anywhere where I'm breathing two million cars' fumes and paying a zillion dollars for the right to be totally hassled.

Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
