Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.

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.

I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.

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

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 live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
