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.

In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.

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 don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.

I don't have a problem with Werner Herzog.

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

Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
