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

No one can stop me from talking about my movie.

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

Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.

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

It's always a problem when you're working with people you don't really know. Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting. You know, these month - or two-month-long endeavors that millions of dollars are based on, and the people doing them don't even know each other, or know each other under pressure, or know each other when things are really... Which filmmaking is completely done under in many circumstances. You're under constant crisis, making a movie.

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