I'm in five guilds; that's a lot of dues to pay. So I have to keep on working.

Although there was a screenplay, the actors never knew what questions I was going to ask them, and all of my character's voice-over narration and scenes were added after the fact.

When you're directing, I feel like I'm playing all the parts, without the make-up. I really get into the heads of the characters.

I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.

But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.

I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early 80s.

I love working with actors. I love to see what they're going to do. There's just something very thrilling and satisfying with being involved with something, all the way through the process [making movie].
