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

When I talk about drugs and alcohol, I'm talking about sex addiction, gambling addiction, eating addiction, throwing-up addiction. I'm not talking about mental illness.

I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.

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

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

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

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