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

With 'New Rose Hotel,' I knew that I was getting paid a $100,000 fee to write, produce, and direct, and that's all I was going to get.

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

Certain actors wanna get paid, they think working in a low-budget movie is being ripped off. But for others it's like, 'Yes, let's do it.'

My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.

My life is proof that I don't need you to do what I do. If there's no one to see it, I'll watch it.

As barbaric is we are, it's a miracle we haven't blown ourselves off the face of the earth so far.
