I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.

Trust your actors. That's why I work with the same actors time and time again. I encourage them to change the dialogue to achieve one thing: keep the characters honest.

Woody Allen would go for seven years without a movie and then make one that makes no money.

Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.

I feel Irish-Americans are the forgotten minority group. Nobody else is making films about them.

You make a movie for 9k for the freedom it allows you.

I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles.
