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.
Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.
I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.
In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.
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.
