On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all.

I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.

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.

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

New York means so much to people. If you're inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it's been that way since the first skyscraper.

My hunger and desperation, being an actor, an out of work actor - my memory of that is as fresh as an open wound.

To see a comedy in an environment where you're surrounded by other people that are laughing is great. That's probably more satisfying than just watching it by yourself.
