I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.

Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.

I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.

I'm in a house where if the washing machine shuts off, it sings a song. If iPad gets a message, it sings a song. I'm living in a real postmodern time - every single thing sings to you to tell you it's started, it's stopped, you've got a message, you didn't get a message.

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.

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

Mulberry Street was the beating heart of the Italian-American experience, but you don't find those gangsters now. I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
