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

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.

If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.

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].

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.
