I have created the life that I live... therefore I can create the life that I want.

Every film takes on its own life. I find it very interesting to show an audience some part of history that maybe they don't know.

I don't like making a film and having the actors in character too much in magazines and on the net and everything else. Because you want to keep something back.

The key to the success of any producer is to have a great team around.

It's a business of relationships. I mean that's exactly what Hollywood is to me, and I'm lucky enough to work with the same people over and over again.

I'm really a one-man band.

I love the gangster genre, but how many gangster movies are there? If I get a good gangster movie script, I'll do it.
