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

Maybe I should have taken a few chances. That's not to say I want to go make Star Wars, but I need to shift my career into the studio world. That's where my head was at when I thought of the original plot.

I'm always aware of who my core audiences are and I serve that niche.

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.

It's an enormous wall that's built between you and your dreams. And if every day, you just chip away... It may take ten years, but eventually you just might see some light.
