I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.

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

I don't need to push myself. I don't need to sharpen my own knife and slit my throat. I'm trying to chill it and find an equilibrium and a balance to my work.

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

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

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.

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.
