Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.
I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.
Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.
In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
I grew up in the '60s, which was a creative time, so it wasn't that big of a stretch to go from a baseball bat to a guitar to a film camera.
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
